FAQ'S

Expert Answers on Key Extraction

Below are answers regarding our removal techniques and how we restore access when a key breaks inside a cylinder.

1. Will I need to replace the lock after extraction?

Our goal is to save your hardware. We use precision tools to slide the fragment out without harming the cylinder walls. In most cases, the lock remains fully functional and can continue to be used with a spare key.
Yes. If both halves of the key are available, we can often trace the cuts to generate a fresh duplicate. If pieces are missing or too damaged, we can decode the lock cylinder directly to create a replacement key from scratch.
We specialize in automotive extraction. Our technicians can carefully remove fragments from the ignition switch or door lock without damaging the sensitive internal wafers. We can then cut and program a new transponder key on-site.

4. Should I try to pull the key out myself?

We strongly advise against using superglue or household items like pliers. These methods often push the fragment deeper or gum up the mechanism, turning a simple extraction job into a situation where the entire lock must be replaced.
Yes. High-security cylinders often have tighter tolerances and complex pins, but our extraction kits are designed to navigate these narrow keyways. We can retrieve broken pieces from commercial-grade hardware safely.
Yes. Since we are manipulating a lock to restore access, we require valid identification and proof that you reside at the property or own the vehicle. We strictly follow these protocols to ensure the security of your assets.
