EXPERIENCED MOBILE AUTOMOTIVE HELP
A snapped key needs a careful approach.
Broken key extraction is about removing the lodged piece and checking the condition of the lock. Depending on the vehicle and the damage, a replacement key or further repair may also be needed. We explain the options before proceeding.
- Broken keys in car door locks
- Snapped keys in ignition barrels
- Lock condition checked after extraction
- Replacement key options if needed
Before you call
Keep any remaining pieces of the key and tell us exactly where the break occurred. Do not attempt to push another object into the lock.
Your questions, answered
Can you remove a snapped ignition key?
We assess broken keys in ignition barrels and door locks. Call with your vehicle details and explain where the key is lodged.
Can you also replace the broken key?
Ask when booking. Replacement availability depends on the vehicle, key system and condition of the lock.
