Old, worn or bent keys break most often, and forcing the stub only pushes it deeper. We remove the fragment carefully from door locks, deadbolts, padlocks and ignitions, inspect the cylinder for wear, and can rekey or replace the lock if it turns out to be the underlying cause. In most cases you keep your existing hardware.

  • Broken key extraction from locks

Signs You Need Broken Key Extraction

Not sure if this is the right service? These are the most common situations that lead Fairfax customers to call us for broken key extraction:

  • A key snapped off in the lock

  • A worn key finally broke
  • The lock won't work with the stub inside

No two calls are exactly alike, and that is where experience matters. Over thousands of jobs across Fairfax, our technicians have seen and solved just about every variation of this problem — from routine requests to the tricky, high-pressure situations that leave other locksmiths stumped.

Key Benefits

  • Broken key removed without harming the lock
  • Works on doors, deadbolts, padlocks and ignitions

  • Cheaper than replacing the lock
  • Cylinder inspected to prevent a repeat

Good locksmithing is about doing the small things right — clean cuts, correct components, proper alignment and a final test before we leave. We take that care on every broken key extraction job in Fairfax, because the details are what separate a lasting fix from a temporary patch.

A little prevention goes a long way. Once we have handled the immediate need, we are glad to point out simple steps that reduce the odds of a repeat — a spare key kept somewhere safe, a small hardware upgrade on a vulnerable door, or a quick adjustment that keeps a lock operating smoothly. Our aim is a lasting solution and a customer who feels genuinely looked after, not a quick job and a future callback.
