If you've ever broken your key while trying to start your vehicle or had a key stuck in a rusted car door lock and couldn't remove it, you know how frustrating it can be to fix either of these problems. Luckily, the expert locksmiths at On Time Locksmiths have years of experience removing broken keys from locks and can provide a quick solution to any car security issue you're facing. Here we'll discuss the ins and outs of car key extraction and all necessary steps to getting you back on the road in no time.

Professional Car Key Extraction

When it comes to vehicles, some maintenance issues are easily performed by car owners, while others require the trained experience of a professional. If you are experiencing a lock problem, occasionally it can be fixed simply with the help of a friend or tutorial videos found online. However, most of the time, lock picking, broken key extraction, and ignition repair are best left to professionals. 

Since the aim of fixing car problems yourself is either to save time or money or both, when you take on a project, you want to have reasonable certainty that you can be successful. However, when it comes to the locks and ignition on your vehicle, expenses incurred from damage to locks, keys, doors and the ignition could be much more costly and time-consuming than calling a locksmith. So when you have a broken car key in a lock, call a professional locksmith with the proper experience and credentials. Quality service is more than worth the small investment.

Removing Keys from Old Car Locks

To avoid broken keys and broken locks, it's best to have your locks checked when you have regular car maintenance, have locks lubricated yearly and replace locks that are becoming old, warped or brittle. However, it's not always possible to completely avoid breaking a key. When you first get keys to a car, or really any door for that matter, it is almost always advised to save the original somewhere secure and use a duplicate. This way, if you break a key or one goes missing, you can easily make a duplicate that is true to the original. Preparing for key copies in advance saves you time, money and gives you a more precise key cut. If you get duplicates of duplicates made when you need a new key, over time, your key will diverge more and more from the original cut, making the key difficult to use.

Our Car Key Removal Technique

The concept is quite simple for getting the key out of the lock.

Step #1 We will give the lock a quick spray of lubricant so that it will be easier for the key shaft to slide out. Next, we will place the piece of saw blade into the keyway, while making sure you slide the saw blade in along beside the grooved edge of your key.

Step #2 Our expert locksmith will grab on to the key shaft by twisting the saw blade just a little. When it gets a grip, we’ll attempt to slide the shaft out of the lock. Once the key is out a little, we’ll use one of our car key extraction tools to pull it out all the way. Once the broke piece is out, we won’t throw it away because we can usually make you a new key for the lock with the two pieces of the old key.

Lubricating your locks on a regular basis will make sure they turn easily. Take a look at the keys you use regularly, keys will start to weaken and crack where the shaft joins the head. At OnTime Locksmith Company we have trained professionals to help take care of these types of problems whether it is key extraction or anything else in between.
