Overview

Broken key extraction, done without damage

If your key has snapped in the door, boot or ignition, we safely remove the broken piece and cut you a fresh working key on-site across the North West, so a broken key does not leave you stranded.

Removed without harming your locks

Forcing a snapped key can wreck an expensive lock or barrel, so we use specialist extraction tools to remove the broken section cleanly and check the mechanism still works. In most cases we then cut and, where needed, program a brand-new key straight away.
