A key that snaps off inside a lock or ignition is a common problem with a clean solution. We extract the broken piece using specialized tools that grip and withdraw it without damaging the lock cylinder, then cut you a fresh key so the lock works again. It's faster and cheaper than replacing the whole lock.

We route the nearest technician to you, use professional tools that protect your doors and hardware, and never spring hidden fees.

In most cases you keep your existing hardware.
