Professional Extraction Preserves Your Lock
When a key breaks inside a lock cylinder, the temptation is often to try and retrieve it yourself using common household tools. However, attempting to extract a broken key with pliers, tweezers, or even glue can push the blade further in or damage the delicate internal wafers of the lock. These DIY efforts often turn a quick extraction into a costly cylinder replacement.
Q 24/7 Lock Service employs specialized spiral and hook extractors designed to grip the broken blade segment without scoring or damaging the lock's inner mechanisms. This precision approach ensures that in most cases, the original lock remains intact and functional after the key fragment is safely removed.
The On-Site Extraction and Replacement Process
Our broken key extraction service begins with a thorough assessment of the lock and the position of the broken key fragment. Using our specific tools, the technician carefully maneuvers to grip the key blade and gently pull it free from the cylinder. This process is often quick, typically taking only a short amount of time.
Once the broken key is extracted, we inspect the lock cylinder for any signs of wear or damage that may have contributed to the key breaking. Following a successful extraction, we can then cut a brand new replacement key on-site, using the intact half of your old key or by code, ensuring you are not left stranded.
