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
  • Extraction from ignitions
  • Replacement key cutting
  • Cylinder inspection
  • Optional rekey or repair

What to expect when we arrive

Every broken key extraction job in Larkspur is a little different, and we approach each one on its own terms.

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.
