Key Extraction Questions
Answered

Everything you need to know about broken key removal

Can you extract a broken key without damaging my lock?

expand_more

Yes, in the vast majority of cases we can extract broken keys without any damage to the lock cylinder. We use specialized extraction tools designed specifically for this purpose. These tools grip the broken key fragment and carefully pull it out without disturbing the internal pins or mechanism. Our technicians have extensive experience with all lock types and key extraction techniques.

What if the key is broken deep inside the lock?

expand_more

Even keys broken deep in the cylinder can usually be extracted. We have various extraction tools of different lengths and designs for reaching keys broken at different depths. In some cases, we may need to manipulate the lock cylinder to reposition the broken fragment for easier extraction. Our technicians are trained in advanced extraction techniques for difficult situations.

Can you make a new key from the broken pieces?

expand_more

Yes, if we have both pieces of the broken key, we can cut a new key using the broken pieces as a template. If pieces are missing or too damaged, we can also decode the lock cylinder to determine the correct key cuts and create a new key that way. Our mobile units carry key cutting equipment so we can make your replacement keys on-site.

How long does key extraction take?

expand_more

Most straightforward key extractions are completed quickly. More difficult cases where the key is broken deep in the cylinder or multiple attempts are needed may take longer. This includes extracting the key, cutting a replacement, and testing the new key to ensure it works properly. We work as quickly as possible while maintaining a focus on not damaging your lock.

What causes keys to break in locks?

expand_more

Keys typically break due to wear and tear, excessive force when turning a stuck lock, using a worn or damaged key, or freezing temperatures making the metal brittle. Sometimes a key is cut incorrectly creating weak points. After extraction, we can examine why the key broke and recommend solutions like lock lubrication, lock repair, or using better quality key blanks to prevent future breaks.

Do I need to replace the lock after key extraction?

expand_more

Usually no. Professional key extraction doesn't damage the lock, so replacement isn't necessary. However, if the lock itself caused the key to break due to malfunction or wear, we may recommend repair or replacement. We'll test the lock with your new key and let you know if any issues need addressing. In most cases, the lock continues working perfectly after proper extraction.
