Broken Key Extraction

A secure business is a basic requirement, and the end-of-day routine of locking up, and knowing that only the right staff can get back in, is something owners think about more than they admit. If your premises run on conventional locks and keys, we can keep that system working, and we have technology that makes managing it simpler.

Keys fail, and when one fails in the front door the business is shut whether you like it or not. This is work Simply The Best Locksmith does particularly well. We extract the broken piece from the lock of your commercial property quickly and get the doors open so staff and customers can carry on.

Commercial service reaches every corner of the Lehigh Valley and extends into Lehigh, Northampton, Montgomery, Berks and Bucks counties. If a key ever breaks in a lock at your business, call us. We will deal with the broken key, and with anything else the building’s locks need, at (484) 237-1233.

Why Pulling It Out Yourself Makes It Worse

When a key snaps, the piece left behind is wedged against the pins inside the cylinder. Tweezers, pliers and superglue tend to push it deeper or bend the pins, which can turn a quick extraction into a lock replacement.

Our technicians use thin extraction tools designed to hook the cuts on the key fragment and draw it out without damaging the cylinder.

What Happens Next

• We remove the broken piece and check the lock still works
• If the key broke because the lock is stiff, we look at why
• We can cut a new key, often from the broken fragment itself
• If the lock is worn out, we explain your repair and replacement options

A key that breaks in a business door is often a sign of a worn cylinder or a worn key, so it is worth fixing the cause, not only the symptom.
