Explanation for Broken Key Extraction

Assessment of the Situation

Our technician begins by assessing the lock and the broken key situation. This initial evaluation helps us understand the best approach to take for a safe and efficient extraction, ensuring no additional damage occurs.

Selection of the Right Tools

Depending on the assessment, we select specialized tools designed for key extraction. Our extensive toolkit includes various extraction devices tailored to different types of locks and key fragments, allowing us to choose the most effective tool for the job.

Insertion of the Tool

The tool is carefully inserted into the keyway of the lock. Our technician performs this step with precision to avoid pushing the broken key fragment further into the lock, setting the stage for a successful extraction.

Alignment with the Key Fragment

The tool is aligned with the cuts on the key fragment. Proper alignment is crucial for gripping the broken piece securely, ensuring it can be removed without causing further complications.

Extraction of the Broken Key

Our technician gently maneuvers the broken key out of the lock. With expert handling, we extract the key fragment smoothly, restoring the lock to its functional state without damage.

Inspection and Testing of the Lock

After extraction, we inspect and test the lock. This step ensures that the lock operates correctly and that no additional issues were caused during the extraction process, providing peace of mind and reliability.

Key Replacement (if needed)

We can cut a new key on the spot if required. Our mobile key cutting service ensures you won’t be left without a functioning key, making the process convenient and comprehensive.

Don’t Attempt DIY

Trying to extract the key yourself can push it further in or damage the lock. DIY attempts often lead to more complex issues that are harder to resolve, so it’s best to leave the job to our professional locksmiths.

Avoid Using the Lock

Don’t try to use the lock until the broken key is extracted. Using the lock can worsen the situation and make extraction more difficult, so it’s important to refrain from any attempts to operate the lock.

Call Us Immediately

The sooner you call, the quicker we can resolve the issue. Prompt action allows us to address the problem efficiently, minimizing inconvenience and ensuring your lock is restored to full functionality as soon as possible.

What to Do (and Not Do) If Your Key Breaks

Stay Calm: Panicking can make the situation worse. Take a deep breath and assess the situation calmly.

Check the Lock: If part of the key is protruding from the lock, try using pliers to gently pull it out.

Lubricate the Lock: Applying a spray lubricant like WD-40 can help ease the extraction process.

Use a Key Extractor Tool: If you have access to a key extractor tool, carefully insert it into the lock to hook onto the broken key piece and gently pull it out.

Call a Professional: If you’re unable to remove the key or if the situation seems complex, it’s best to call a professional locksmith.

Don’t Push the Key Further: Avoid using the broken key or any other object to try and push the broken piece out from the other side.

Don’t Use Excessive Force: Trying to extract the key with too much force can damage the lock mechanism, leading to more significant issues.

Don’t Dismantle the Lock Yourself: Unless you have experience, dismantling the lock in an attempt to remove the broken key can lead to further damage.
