About this service
A key that snaps inside a lock can leave you stuck outside or unable to lock up. Trying to dig it out with pliers or glue often pushes it further in or damages the lock. We use specialist extraction tools to remove broken keys cleanly.
Don’t force it
If your key breaks, stop using the lock and avoid glue or sharp tools. The cleaner the break, the easier it is to remove the key without replacing the lock.
Why keys break
Keys usually snap because of a worn key, a stiff lock or a door that is out of alignment. After removing the broken piece, we check the lock and fix the cause so it doesn’t happen again.
