Where Keys Break

Common Broken Key Situations

We extract every kind of broken key from every kind of lock. Here is where it happens most.

Front Door Lock

Key snapped while turning the deadbolt or knob. Most common with worn keys, sticky cylinders, or freezing weather.

Car Ignition

Snapped while trying to start the car. Older vehicles and worn cylinders are most prone. We extract without damaging the steering column.

Padlock

Storage unit, gate, gym locker, garage. Often from corrosion, freezing, or twisting the wrong key. We extract and replace if needed.

Mailbox or Cabinet

Small keys for mailboxes, file cabinets, desks, and lock boxes break easily. We have micro-extractors sized for tiny keyways.

Office or Hotel Lock

Commercial lever locks, hotel room locks, conference rooms. High-traffic locks see the most breakage. Same-visit extraction and rekey.

Stuck Key (Not Broken)

Key intact but seized in the lock. We free stuck keys without forcing or breaking. Often caused by debris, frozen mechanisms, or worn pins.

The Process

How Broken Key Extraction Works

From your first call to a fully working lock with a new key. Here is what happens.

GPS Dispatch

under 2 min

Call (314) 728-5700. Tell us where the key broke (door, ignition, padlock) and your location. Our GPS dispatch routes the closest mobile unit immediately.

Damage Assessment

2-3 min

Your technician identifies the lock type, the position of the broken piece, and picks the right extractor from the van. Specialty tools for ignitions, padlocks, micro keyways.

Precision Extraction

5-15 min

Spiral extractors, hooks, and tension-bypass tools remove every piece without drilling or damaging the cylinder. Over 95% of extractions are damage-free.

We decode the lock and cut a working replacement key on the spot via key duplication. If the cylinder was damaged during the break, we quote lock installation or repair.
