How our non-destructive extraction process works

When you call us for help, our primary goal is to retrieve the broken piece while preserving the integrity of your existing hardware. We avoid unnecessary drilling or damage to your uPVC or timber doors whenever possible. Our technicians use a specialised key removal tool to grip the fragment and slide it out cleanly. Once the obstruction is cleared, we inspect the internal chamber to ensure no small shards remain that could impede the operation of a new key. If the underlying cause was a faulty or seized cylinder, we can perform an on-site repair or replacement to prevent future breakages.

Who We Are

Why choose a professional for key removal?

It is tempting to try and pry the key out yourself using pliers or pins, but this often pushes the fragment deeper into the lock. Doing so can cause irreparable damage to the pins and springs, leading to a much more expensive full lock replacement. By hiring our local experts, you benefit from our professional tools and years of experience. We provide complete peace of mind, backed by 10 million pounds in public liability insurance, ensuring that your home security remains robust and compliant with your home insurance provider's requirements.

British Standard compliance and security upgrades

If your key snapped because the lock has become worn or brittle, you may need a more secure solution to stay protected. We are well-versed in British Standard BS3621, which is a common requirement for many UK home insurance policies. During our visit to your property in Selby, we can assess whether your current lock system offers the necessary level of protection. Should you require an upgrade, we offer high-security anti-snap cylinders that provide superior resistance against forced entry and mechanical failure, keeping your family and assets safe.

What to do if your key breaks in the lock

If you find yourself stuck with a broken key in your front door, stay calm and follow these steps to avoid worsening the situation. First, do not attempt to force the door open or use glue on the lock, as this will likely result in needing a full lock replacement. Instead, avoid inserting any objects into the keyway which could damage the delicate locking mechanism. Leave the key fragment exactly where it is and give our friendly team a call. We offer 24-hour support across York, Selby, and the wider North Yorkshire area, ensuring you are never left waiting on your doorstep for long. For immediate assistance, contact us on 07393 355531.
