What to Do When a Key Breaks
Stop and don’t make it worse. Please avoid:
- Forcing the remaining key or using another key to push it out
- Poking at it with wire or paperclips, which can push it past the shear line
- Super glue, which usually damages the pins
- Forcing an ignition with screwdrivers or pliers
Can the Lock Still Be Used After?
A new lock isn’t always needed. After extraction we check the lock and tell you whether it’s fine, needs repair, or should be rekeyed or replaced. If both pieces of the key are recovered, we can often make a replacement.
Have This Ready When You Call
- Address, or where the car is parked
- Which lock: house door, office, car door, trunk, or ignition
- Car make, model, and year if it’s a vehicle
- Whether part of the key is still sticking out of the lock
- That you’re the owner, resident, or authorized user
Keep the broken pieces. If we can recover both, we may be able to copy the key.

Can I remove a broken key myself?
We don’t recommend it. Improvised tools often push the piece deeper or damage the pins, which can turn a simple extraction into a lock replacement.
Does a broken key mean I need a new lock?
Not necessarily. We assess the lock after the key is out and tell you whether it needs anything.
What if the key broke inside my car ignition?
Call and give us the make, model, and year. Please don’t force the ignition. Modern ignitions are delicate.
Can you make a replacement key after extraction?
Often, yes, if both pieces are recovered. Tell us when you call.
How much does broken key extraction cost?
Typically from $65 for a door or ignition. See the pricing guide.
