What Is Broken Key Extraction?

Broken key extraction is the process of removing a broken or stuck key from a lock or ignition.

​

Keys can break inside:

• House locks

• Deadbolts

• Commercial doors

• Mailbox locks

• Car doors

• Vehicle ignitions

• Truck locks

• Other compatible locking systems

​

Why Do Keys Break?

Keys can become weakened over time from frequent use, bending, damage, corrosion, or general wear.

​

A key may also break because the lock itself has become difficult to operate.

​

Common causes include:

• Worn-out keys

• Bent keys

• Damaged locks

• Excessive force

• Misaligned doors

• Worn lock cylinders

• Incorrect key insertion
