Precision Broken Key Extraction Deployment in Oxford
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.
University Community
Lincoln University students and staff require reliable locksmith services for off-campus housing.
Rural-Suburban Mix
Oxford's mix of town and rural properties means varied lock types and access needs.

"Electronic safe keypad stopped responding — battery was dead and I didn't have the override key. Kwikey opened the safe, replaced the battery pack, and programmed a new backup code. Also installed the safe in a more accessible location per my request. Very helpful."
"House fire alarm went off at 4am, grabbed my family but not my keys. Once fire dept cleared us, Kwikey came to let us back in. They understood the stress and were patient and kind. True emergency heroes!"
"Airbnb property needed keyless entry so guests don't need physical keys. Kwikey installed Schlage Encode locks on 2 units. Now I change codes remotely between guests. Best upgrade I've made as a host!"

Prevention: How to Stop Keys From Breaking
Most broken keys are preventable. Replace keys that show visible wear grooves or bending. Never force a key into a stiff lock — lubricate it instead. Avoid using keys as tools to pry or open packages. And always get quality key copies cut by a professional locksmith rather than hardware store kiosks, which often produce thinner, weaker duplicates prone to snapping.
