Broken key extraction process
Broken key extraction involves inserting specially shaped tools into the keyhole in an attempt to grab hold of the broken part of the key and pull it out. The success rate of broken key removal depends on whether or not there are any small pieces sticking out that can be grabbed, how deeply the key has broken in the lock, and how dirty or rusty the inside of the lock is. Even if all these factors work in favor, however, there is no guarantee that you will not have to change your entire lock.

car key extraction
When a key breaks off in the ignition of a car, it is imperative that you do not try to remove it. You should call your local locksmith to come and extract the broken portion of the key. Do not try to use pliers or tweezers. This can cause damage to the ignition cylinder and make removal even more difficult. Fixing these types of problems usually requires at least some disassembly of your car’s dashboard, so if you are uncomfortable performing this type of task yourself, call a professional locksmith that can extract the key out.
At Hero Locksmith we have many years’ experience with broken car key extraction, and offer competitive prices for all the work we do. We also provide free advice, if you are unsure about what to do or how to get your broken key out of the ignition.

The old lock on our back door had been causing problems for years. Alex examined it and proposed a solution to fix the problem permanently. It's now working smoothly like when we first installed it!
