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.
