Transparent Costs for Broken Key Extraction
The starting price for broken key extraction is $79, in addition to our standard $49 service call. This clear pricing model allows you to understand the total cost before our mobile locksmith arrives at your location in Lutherville Timonium. Factors that might influence the final price include the type of lock and the depth of the broken key fragment.
Our dispatcher will gather relevant details about your situation to provide an accurate and comprehensive quote. This commitment to upfront pricing means you will not encounter unexpected fees once the extraction process begins, offering a reliable solution when you need it most.
The Non-Destructive Extraction Process
When a key snaps inside a lock, careful and precise intervention is crucial to avoid further damage to the cylinder. Our skilled technicians utilize specialized spiral and hook extractors designed to grip the broken key blade without scoring the internal wafers of the lock. This method prioritizes non-destructive removal.
Unlike attempts with pliers or adhesives, which can push the fragment deeper or permanently damage the lock mechanism, our tools are engineered for delicate work. This professional approach helps preserve your existing lock, often preventing the need for a full cylinder replacement after the key is successfully removed.
Beyond Extraction: Getting You a Working Key
Once the broken key fragment has been successfully extracted from your lock or ignition, the service does not end there. A critical next step is to provide you with a functional replacement key. Our mobile units are equipped with key cutting machines, allowing us to cut a new key on site immediately.
This ensures that you are not left in a vulnerable position after the extraction. We also inspect the cylinder for any signs of wear or minor damage that might have contributed to the key breaking, or occurred during the incident. If necessary, we can advise on rekeying or further repair, ensuring the lock operates smoothly.
