Broken key extraction

A broken key can happen to the best of us. That is why here at Sevan Locks we will send someone out to help you immediately when you call. 

How To Remove a Broken Key From Door Lock

Why do keys break in locks? It happens to all of us – you stick your key into the lock, turn it, and it snaps off without warning. When a key breaks in a lock it can cause a huge security risk as the key can be used to turn the lock, allowing anyone into your car, home or business without your permission.

The best way to prevent this is to ensure you are never turning the key too hard or forcing it into the lock. You should also check for cracks in the metal at least once a week. In the event you do end up breaking a key in the lock, give us a call immediately at (206) 274-7061 for broken key extraction service.

Car Key Broken in the Door Lock or Ignition

Is your car key broken in the door lock or the ignition? This is not only a hassle, it can cause your entire day to come to an abrupt halt as you may not have a spare key and thus can not drive. Car keys are one of the most common keys we extract as they are generally made of a metal that is not very strong and will eventually wear out due to constant use.

Unfortunately, we can not fix a broken key, but if you don’t have a spare we can create a new one for you on the spot. Once we extract the broken key with our removal tool and get you a new one made you can be on your way. We also offer trunk key removal, glove box key removal, and gas tank key removal.

All our Seattle broken key extraction services are done by highly trained locksmiths and come with extended warranty.

Seattle residential broken key extraction

If your key is broken in a lock that is installed on an entry door, you need to call us immediately. This is a serious safety risk for your home and family, and it needs to be rectified immediately in order to keep your house as secure as possible. While you can try to use tweezers to extract the key, this could cause the broken piece to get pushed further into the lock. If this happens, the key could get permanently stuck, requiring a full replacement of the lock.

Broken Key in a Commercial Lock

Having a key broken in a commercial lock is just as bad, if not worse, than having a key broken in a residential lock. This is because most commercial buildings use high-security locks which can be easily damaged if the key is not removed by a professional. A broken key in your commercial lock is a security hazard to your business and needs to be extracted immediately.

Commercial locks also require specific tools in order to extract the key. Our expert team of highly trained broken key extraction locksmiths is able to extract and create any type of commercial key.
