A key snapping off inside a lock is one of those moments that feels like a much bigger problem than it actually is. Metal fatigues over time, especially keys that have been bent, copied from a worn original, or simply used thousands of times — and the snap usually happens at the worst point, leaving a fragment stuck in the cylinder with the lock otherwise undamaged.
We extract broken key fragments from door locks, ignitions, padlocks, and cabinet hardware using specialized extraction tools that work the fragment free without damaging the surrounding cylinder in the vast majority of cases. Afterward, we can cut a fresh replacement key on the spot so you're not dealing with the same worn key snapping again.
