Broken Key Services in Woodside
Worn keys plus stiff cylinders equal snapped keys — the most common lock emergency we see. The fragment gets lodged in the lock profile and prevents normal operation. We use broken key extractor hooks to grip and remove the fragment cleanly. After extraction, we cut you a new key from the original lock profile in Woodside.
A key broken in the ignition means a deeper, tighter extraction than a door lock — often with the fragment twisted mid-turn. Our ignition-specific extraction tools handle it without cylinder damage, and we check the ignition's health afterward at your Woodside location.
The urge to fish the fragment out with tweezers is how a ten-minute extraction becomes a cylinder replacement. Improvised tools push fragments deeper, bend pins, and jam everything tighter. If it happened in Woodside, leave the lock alone and call us — fast.
Keys rarely break in healthy locks — a snapped key usually means the cylinder was fighting back. After removing the fragment in Woodside, we assess the lock — if the cylinder pins or the lock mechanism were damaged by the broken key or by previous attempts to remove it, we can repair or replace the lock on the same visit. We also cut you a fresh new key so you can immediately return to normal use.
