Bay Area Lock And Key delivers exactly that — fully-mobile broken key extraction service backed by licensed, insured technicians and honest, upfront pricing.

A key that snaps off inside a lock or ignition is a common problem with a clean solution.

It's faster and cheaper than replacing the whole lock.

Why San Mateo Chooses Bay Area Lock And Key for Broken Key Extraction

What sets our broken key extraction service apart in San Mateo is the mix of speed, honesty and skill. We route the nearest technician to you, use professional tools that protect your doors and hardware, and never spring hidden fees. You get a real local locksmith who is accountable long after the job is done.

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.
