Snapped Key Removal Sunderland
A key can snap due to wear, a stiff lock, a misaligned door or force being applied when the mechanism is already under strain. We regularly attend snapped key jobs across Sunderland including Roker, Fulwell, Ryhope, Seaburn, Hendon, Pallion, Barnes and nearby areas.
Common Causes of Snapped Keys
- Worn keys
- Stiff cylinders
- Misaligned UPVC doors
- Faulty multipoint mechanisms
- Forcing a key when the lock is jammed
- Old or damaged cylinders
Will the Lock Need Replacing?
Not always. If the cylinder is still in good condition, the broken key may be removed and the lock tested. If the cylinder is damaged, worn or unreliable, replacing it is usually the safer option.
