Keys usually break because the key or the lock was already worn. We extract the broken piece with specialized tools, then cut a new key or repair the lock so it doesn't happen again.
Where keys break
Car ignitions, door locks and trunks, house deadbolts, padlocks, mailboxes and commercial locks. The method depends on where the break is and how much of the key is left inside.
What's included
- Car ignitions
- Car doors and trunks
- House and apartment locks
- Padlocks and mailbox locks
- New key cut after extraction
Leave it in place
Don't use glue or push the piece deeper. It makes extraction harder and can ruin the lock.
