FAQ
Can I remove a broken key from a lock myself?
If a large piece is sticking out and slides easily, gentle removal may work. If the fragment is flush or the lock is under tension, DIY attempts often push it deeper or damage the cylinder. It is safer to stop turning the lock and get professional extraction.
Will you need to replace my lock after extracting the key?
Not always. If the cylinder is in good condition, we can usually extract the fragment and restore normal operation. If the lock is worn, stiff, or internally damaged, we may recommend rekeying or cylinder replacement to prevent another break.
How long does broken key extraction take?
Many extractions can be completed in minutes once we can access the lock. Time varies based on how deep the fragment is, the lock type, and whether the cylinder must be removed. After extraction, we also test the lock and check for the cause of the break.
