Broken keys stuck in locks create frustrating situations preventing you from entering your home or securing your property. NC Local Locksmith provides professional key extraction services removing broken key fragments without damaging your locks. We extract keys from door locks, deadbolts, padlocks, and any other lock type.
Safe Broken Key Removal Service
We extract broken keys from all lock types, remove fragments without lock damage, extract keys broken flush with the lock surface, handle both exterior and interior locks, and cut replacement keys after extraction.
Our specialized extraction tools designed for lock work allow us to remove even deeply lodged key fragments that seem impossible to access.
Professional Extraction Methods
We use specialized extraction tools fitting alongside the broken key, carefully pull fragments out without pushing deeper, work patiently to avoid lock damage, and preserve locks for continued use.
DIY extraction attempts with pliers, tweezers, or glue often push the broken piece deeper into the lock or damage delicate internal mechanisms—creating a simple problem into an expensive lock replacement.
After Extraction Services
Once we remove the broken key, we inspect the lock for damage, lubricate mechanisms if needed, test operation with new keys, cut replacement keys from the extracted piece or by code, and provide spare keys preventing future problems.
If the lock shows wear or damage, we discuss whether repair or replacement better serves your security needs.
