Most residential calls we receive are about people losing their key, but, sometimes a key breaks in the lock and it can keep you locked out or unable to relock your home, car, or business. Truth is this dilemma can be more of a pain to deal with than a missing key. Not only are you locked out, but even a spare key can’t get you out of this dilemma. A broken key is a delicate situation because if it’s not handled properly not only will the key need replacing, but so will the lock.

Your first instinct might be to take a sharp pointy object and try to extract the key – Please DO NOT DO THIS. Without proper training, poking and prying in a lock can jam the key in further and cause damage to the lock or even completely destroy it. We at Smart Lock and Safe stress this fact to all of our customers because we would hate for a problem that could have been easily solved to escalate to a more extensive and expensive one. You see, a professional locksmith, in many cases, can extract a broken key and simply re-cut a new key. If the lock is irreparably damaged during the key extraction process then the old lock will need to be removed so a new lock will can be installed and all new keys can be cut.
