How it works

The broken key extraction process

What to expect when you call Locks Around the Clock for broken key extraction.

  1. Step 1

    Tell us where the key broke

    Let us know whether the key snapped in a car ignition, a door lock, or a padlock, and give us the details so we arrive with the right extraction tools.

  2. Step 2

    We come to you

    Our mobile locksmith meets you at your vehicle, home, or business with the tools to remove the broken piece without forcing the lock.

  3. Step 3

    We extract the broken key

    We carefully remove the broken piece so the lock or ignition is not damaged, and check that the mechanism still turns smoothly.

  4. Step 4

    We cut you a fresh key

    A key usually breaks because it is worn. We cut a clean new key, and for a car we can program it too, so you are not one snap away from this happening again.

Common questions

Broken Key Extraction: FAQs

Can you get a broken key out without damaging the lock?

Yes. In most cases we extract the broken piece with specialized tools that protect the lock or ignition cylinder, so you do not end up paying to replace the whole mechanism. Call (760) 625-0955.

My key broke off in the car ignition. Can you help?

Yes. We remove keys broken in ignitions as well as door locks, and because we are a full automotive locksmith we can cut and program a replacement on the spot so you drive away.

Why did my key break in the first place?

Keys usually snap because they are worn thin from years of use, or because the lock is stiff. We extract the broken piece and cut a fresh key, and if the lock is the problem we can service that too.

Do you extract broken keys from house and padlock locks?

Yes. We handle broken keys in residential door locks, padlocks, and commercial hardware, not just vehicles. Tell us what kind of lock it is when you call and we bring the right tools.
