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.

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.

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.
