When your key snaps inside the lock
If any of these describe what you're dealing with right now, this is the service you need. Call with your situation and location - we'll confirm we can help before sending anyone out.
Key Snapped Deep Inside - Nothing to Grab
The broken piece is flush with the lock or pushed inside where you can't reach it. Pliers and tweezers won't work. We use thin, hooked tools designed to slide past the fragment and pull it out.
You Tried to Pull It Out and Made It Worse
Tweezers, superglue, or a second key often push the piece deeper. Don't worry - we deal with this all the time. We can still get it out even after a failed DIY attempt.
Key Broke in Your Car Ignition
Now you can't start your car or remove the fragment. We use ultra-thin tools made for ignition cylinders to get the piece out without affecting your car's electrical system.
Door Is Stuck - Can't Lock or Unlock It
With half a key jammed in there, the door won't budge either way. You can't secure your home and you can't get in. We remove the obstruction so the lock works normally again.
Describe your situation - we'll confirm the right service and come prepared.

Tested before handoff Why call a pro instead of DIY
Save Your Lock - Don't Replace It
A broken key doesn't mean a broken lock. Professional extraction saves your existing hardware, which means you don't pay for a whole new lock when only the key failed.
DIY Attempts Usually Make It Worse
Tweezers push fragments deeper. Superglue bonds to the cylinder. A second key jams everything. We have purpose-built tools that actually work without causing more damage.
You Get a New Key Before We Leave
Extraction alone doesn't solve your problem - you still need a working key. We cut one on site so you're completely back to normal in a single visit.
We Find Out Why It Broke
If your lock is stiff or dry, it puts extra stress on keys and they snap. We identify the cause and can lubricate or adjust the lock so your new key lasts longer.

Broken Key Extraction FAQ
These are the questions people ask most before booking this service. If yours isn't here, call us - we'll answer it directly.
Should I try to pull the broken piece out myself?
We'd recommend against it. Tweezers and pliers usually push the fragment deeper or scratch the inside of the lock. If it's sticking out enough to grab with your fingers, you can try - but if it's flush or deeper, call us.
Will my lock still work after you remove the piece?
In most cases, yes. The lock itself is usually fine - it's just blocked by the fragment. Once we remove it and clean out any shavings, it should work like normal.
Can you make me a new key if the old one broke in half?
Yes. We can use the broken pieces to figure out the correct cuts, or we can read the code directly from your lock. Either way, you get a working key before we leave.
Why did my key break in the first place?
Usually it's metal fatigue from years of use, or a lock that's gotten stiff and needs lubrication. When you have to force or wiggle the key, that stress adds up until it snaps.
What if the key broke in my car ignition?
We handle that too. Car ignitions need thinner, more delicate tools than door locks, but the process is similar. We remove the piece without affecting your car's electrical system.
Key broke off in your lock?
Tell us where the key broke - front door, back door, car ignition, or mailbox. We'll confirm availability and send a specialist to extract the broken piece without damaging your lock.
