Broken Key Extraction

Professional Broken Key Extraction Services

A fractured key lodged within a cylinder blocks the shear line, rendering the lock inoperable and the door impassable. Scottsdale Lock & Key performs specialized Broken Key Extraction to resolve this mechanical obstruction. Our technicians utilize precision hook and spiral extractors to carefully retrieve the embedded fragment, clearing the keyway and restoring the function of your lock without the need for drilling or hardware replacement.

Why Trust Our Extraction Specialists

Removing a lodged fragment requires steady manipulation and specific leverage tools to avoid pushing the metal deeper into the housing. We prioritize saving your existing hardware to avoid the cost of a new lock. Select our team for the following technical advantages:

Cylinder Preservation: Our extraction methods focus solely on the key fragment, ensuring the internal pins, springs, and cylinder walls remain intact and undamaged.
Debris Removal: We ensure all metal filings and foreign particles are cleared from the keyway to prevent future jamming or mechanical friction.
On-Site Key Replacement: Once the broken piece is removed, we can decode the cuts from the fragments to generate a new, stronger key immediately at your location.
Mechanical Assessment: We inspect the cylinder for stress fractures or binding issues that may have caused the key to snap initially.
Lubrication Service: We apply professional-grade dry lubricant after extraction to ensure smooth mechanical action and reduce wear on your new keys.

FAQ'S

The Definitive Broken Key Extraction Solution

A snapped key fragment trapped within the cylinder effectively disables your lock mechanism. Scottsdale Lock & Key delivers expert Broken Key Extraction to safely remove these obstructions. We utilize specialized extractor tools to draw out the debris without damaging the pins or housing, restoring the functionality of your hardware immediately.

1. Can I use superglue to pull the key out?

No. Attempting to use glue is highly risky and often results in the adhesive flowing into the pin chambers. This fuses the internal components permanently, destroying the lock and requiring a complete hardware replacement instead of a simple extraction.

2. Will my lock work after the key is removed?

Yes. In most cases, the lock cylinder itself is undamaged by the break. Once our technician performs the Broken Key Extraction and removes the obstruction, the lock usually functions perfectly with a spare or new key.

3. Can you make a new key from the broken pieces?

Yes. If you possess both parts of the broken key, our technicians can align them to decode the cut depths. We can then cut a fresh, factory-original duplicate on-site, saving you the trouble of replacing the entire lock system.

4. Why did my key break inside the lock?

Broken key extraction is the process of safely removing a broken key from your car’s ignition, door, or trunk. Our locksmiths use specialized tools to remove the key without damaging the lock or ignition system.

5. Do you extract keys from mailbox locks?

Yes. Mailbox locks are smaller and more delicate, making them prone to key breakage. We use micro-extraction tools specifically designed for these smaller keyways to remove fragments without damaging the cam mechanism.

6. Is it cheaper to extract the key or replace the lock?

Extraction is generally the more cost-effective option. Broken Key Extraction preserves your existing high-quality hardware and matching key system, whereas replacement requires buying new locks and potentially rekeying other doors to match.
