Broken Key Extraction
Snapped or Stuck Key
Broken Key Extraction
A key snapped in your door lock or ignition barrel is a common problem — and trying to remove it yourself often makes things worse, pushing the broken piece deeper into the mechanism. We use specialist extraction tools to safely remove broken key fragments without damaging the lock, then cut and program a replacement key on-site.

- Specialist removal tools — no drilling or lock replacement needed in most cases
- Broken transponder chip recovery from inside the lock

If your key will not turn in the ignition, sticks, or the barrel feels loose and wobbly, the ignition lock cylinder or electrical switch may be worn or damaged. We diagnose the fault and carry out on-site ignition barrel repair or replacement — getting you started without a trip to the dealership.
