Securing Paoli: Expert Broken Key Extraction Insights
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.
Commuter Hub Lockouts
Paoli station sees frequent car lockouts from commuters. We respond professionally to get you on your train.
Shopping Center Service
Paoli Village Shoppes generates both car lockouts and commercial lock needs.

"Lost transponder key for my 2019 Subaru. Kwikey cut and programmed a new one at my house. Key was about half what the dealer quoted and I didn't have to tow the car anywhere. Mobile service is so convenient!"

What if my commercial lockout also triggers the alarm? expand_more
We work with you to coordinate with your alarm company before entry. Many clients have us on their authorized list. If needed, we can wait while you contact monitoring to prevent a false alarm response.
Do I need to prove I own the property during a lockout? expand_more
Yes, for your protection and ours. We require valid ID matching the address, registration for vehicles, or other proof of residency. This protects you from unauthorized entry. If you're a renter, a lease or utility bill works too.

What should I do while waiting for the locksmith? expand_more
Prioritize your safety by staying in a well-lit area or nearby open business. Please avoid attempting forced entry or DIY bypass techniques, as these often lead to structural hardware damage that can complicate the resolution and lead to unnecessary hardware replacement.

Broken Key Extraction in Delaware & Pennsylvania
A broken key is one of the most frustrating lock emergencies. The key snaps without warning, leaving you stranded with a useless stub and a jammed lock. Kwikey Locksmith provides professional broken key extraction service throughout Delaware and Greater Philadelphia. Our technicians carry specialized extraction tools and key-cutting equipment so the entire problem is solved in one visit.
Don't Try to Remove It Yourself
We understand the temptation to grab tweezers or needle-nose pliers, but DIY extraction attempts usually push the fragment deeper into the cylinder. Super glue methods can permanently damage the lock. Our professional extractors grip behind the fragment and slide it out without scratching the pins or cylinder wall — a precise alternative to full lock replacement.
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.
