Lock Repair After Key Extraction
Once the broken key is removed, we can check whether the lock is still working correctly. If the cylinder is damaged or unreliable, we can replace it with a suitable new cylinder.
Getting the Broken Piece Out
If part of the key is still in the lock, do not try to use the lock or push the broken piece back in. Where we can, we take the piece out without removing the lock. If it was your only key, the lock is then replaced so you have working keys again.
