Why Havertown Trusts Us for Broken Key Extraction
Key Snapped Right in the Deadbolt
You felt it give.. Now half the key is in your hand and the other half is jammed inside the lock.. You can't lock or unlock the door.. We extract the piece without damaging the cylinder and cut you a new key on-site.
Broken Piece Pushed Too Deep
Tried tweezers or pliers?. That usually pushes the fragment deeper.. Now it's really stuck.. Our extraction tools grip from behind the fragment and slide it out cleanly — even when it's deep inside.
Worn Key Finally Gave Out
Old keys develop stress fractures from years of use.. When they finally snap, it's always at the worst time.. We extract the piece, cut a fresh key from code, and recommend replacing worn spares.
Key Broke Off in the Car Ignition
A key fragment stuck in your ignition cylinder prevents you from starting your vehicle and can damage the ignition if forced.. Our automotive extraction tools are designed specifically for the tight tolerances of ignition cylinders.
Padlock or Mailbox Key Snapped
Smaller keyways in padlocks, mailboxes, and filing cabinets are notorious for snapping thin keys. The tight cylinders make DIY extraction nearly impossible. We have micro-extraction tools designed for these compact locks. Our Havertown technicians resolve this on-site.
