BROKEN KEY EXTRACTION

Getting the broken part out is only part of the job.

Tell us where the key has broken and whether part of the blade is still visible. Keep any pieces you have so the locksmith can assess the original key.

After extraction, the key and ignition may need further attention. We’ll explain whether replacement key work or ignition repair is needed, and confirm the cost before proceeding.

How we can help

  • Assessment of a key broken in the ignition
  • Specialist extraction of the trapped fragment
  • Inspection for related key or ignition damage
  • Advice on a replacement key or further repair

Do not force another key or tools into the ignition. This can make assessment and extraction more difficult.
