BROKEN KEY EXTRACTION IN NORWICH & NORFOLK
Keys can snap because they are worn, damaged or being forced against a stiff lock. Attempting to remove the broken section with unsuitable tools can push it further inside or damage the lock mechanism.
We use appropriate techniques to extract the broken piece as carefully as possible. Once removed, the lock will be checked to identify why the key failed and whether any repair or adjustment is required.
If the lock remains in good condition, a replacement key may be all that is needed. Where the lock itself is faulty, we will explain the available repair or replacement options.
WHEN A KEY SNAPS INSIDE THE LOCK
Trying to remove a snapped key with unsuitable tools can damage the lock or push the fragment further inside. We use appropriate techniques to remove it safely.
years’ combined door & window experience
More than a locksmith
Before creating BC Locksmith & Repair Services, James and Craig spent decades working in the UPVC and aluminium door and window trade.
That means we understand the complete system – not only the cylinder. We can identify alignment, hinge, handle, mechanism, gasket and glass problems, then recommend the most practical repair.
Trusted across Norfolk
Exceptional service and talented tradesmen. Fitted locks throughout new home and also replaced windows in conservatory and bedroom. Really efficient service, great communication and truly professional and approachable people. Could not recommend enough A+++.
