Broken Key Extraction

• Fast, careful removal: Extract broken blades from euro cylinders, rim cylinders, mortice locks and patio door locks without damaging the door, frame or hardware.

• All door types covered: uPVC and composite, aluminium and timber—front, back, patio, French and bifold sets.

• Fix the root cause: Assess worn cylinders, bent keys, misaligned doors or failed gearboxes that often cause keys to snap.

• Repair or replace on the spot: Re-cut keys, re-pin/re-key cylinders, replace damaged gearboxes or fit new locks as needed.

• Upgrade options: Insurance-approved anti-snap/anti-pick cylinders and reinforced handles available if the lock is due an upgrade.

• Tidy finish: Lubrication, alignment and function checks so the lock operates smoothly before we leave.

Common situations we solve

• Key shears off flush with the keyway.

• Part of the key stuck deep inside, key won’t insert or turn.

Prevention tips

• Replace worn or bent keys and avoid forcing stiff locks.

• Keep uPVC/composite doors correctly aligned; if you must lift/push to lock, it’s time for an adjustment.

• Periodic lubrication with the correct product (not WD-40 for cylinders).

• Snapped key? We’ll remove it cleanly, restore smooth operation, and leave your door secure and easy to use.
