How We Handle Broken Key Extraction
Inspect the Key and Lock
First, we look at the broken key, the keyway, and the lock/ignition it fits in. The Key Fragment can be used to select the tool and technique for extraction. We also look for any damage that may impact removal.
Secure the Extraction Area
Our locksmiths take measures to protect the lock cylinder or ignition cylinder surrounding the broken piece before removing it. This will prevent the fragment from being sent further into the mechanism and will minimize damage to any delicate parts.
Remove the Broken Key
With the use of professional key extraction tools, we work very carefully around the broken part and extract the fragment from the lock. The method will vary based on the type of key, its location, and the design of the vehicle’s locking mechanism.
Check the Lock or Ignition
Once the broken part is removed, we conduct a test to make sure that there is no obstruction or damage in the affected mechanism. Sometimes, the replacement of the key is the only thing that may need to be done, as long as the lock or ignition is still working.
What Can Cause a Car Key to Break?
Repeated use of car keys can cause them to weaken. When turning inside the lock or ignition, a worn key blade can eventually snap. Excessive force can also cause key snapping, especially when the Lock Mechanism is already stiff.
Damage or excessive wear on the key can make it more likely to break again. When the original key is compromised, a car key replacement will help to avoid another lockout or a spare key.
In some cases, the problem starts with the lock rather than the key. If the lock cylinder is damaged, the cylinder pins are worn, or there is an obstruction in the keyway, normal key operation may be difficult.
