Broken key extraction
Keys wear thin over years of use, and a worn key can snap inside the lock. Don't try to pull it out with glue or pins; that usually pushes it deeper. We use extraction tools to remove the broken piece, cut a fresh key from the code or the fragments, and check the cylinder for damage. If the lock itself is worn, we'll tell you.
Lost keys: rekey or replace
If your keys are lost along with anything showing your address, rekeying the exterior locks is a sensible precaution. It's quicker and usually cheaper than buying new hardware. If you'd prefer different locks, we'll quote both so you can choose.
Locks that stick or won't turn
Stiff locks are often caused by dirt, a misaligned door or worn pins. We diagnose the cause rather than just spraying lubricant, then repair, adjust or replace as needed. For vehicles, we also handle worn ignition and door locks and can make replacement car keys for many models.

Questions from 98684
Can you make a key from a broken one?
Often, yes. If both pieces are available we can usually cut a new key; otherwise we can decode the lock.
Should I use WD-40 on a sticky lock?
We'd advise against general-purpose sprays, which can gum up pins over time. A dry graphite or lock-specific lubricant is better, and a persistent problem should be checked.
