Broken Key in a Car, Home or Business

A snapped key looks like a small problem, but the piece left in the lock is jammed against the pins. Prying at it with pliers or tweezers usually pushes it further in and can damage the cylinder, which turns a quick extraction into a lock or ignition replacement.

What to Do

• Stop turning; do not try the other half of the key
• Keep the broken piece you are holding; we can often cut a new key from it
• Do not spray lubricant or glue into the lock
• Call and tell us whether it is a car door, ignition, house or business lock

Why Keys Break

Keys usually snap because they are worn thin, bent, or used in a lock that has become stiff. After extraction we check the lock, so the next key does not go the same way.
