Snap your key in the lock?
It usually happens when you're already running late or trying to get the shopping in out of the rain. You turn the key, hear that dreaded 'clink', and suddenly you're left holding half a key while the other half is stuck deep inside the barrel. If you're standing on your doorstep in Annfield Plain wondering what to do next, don't worry. At Fortify Locksmiths, we deal with snapped keys every single day. Whether it's a stubborn uPVC door or an old timber frame, we've got the tools and the patience to get that fragment out and get you back inside without making a drama out of it.
Why Choose Us?
Step away from the superglue
We've seen it all before - the tempting 'life hack' where someone tries to glue the two halves of the key back together or poke at it with a pair of tweezers. Most of the time, this just pushes the broken bit further into the lock or gums up the internal pins with glue, turning a simple extraction into a much more expensive lock replacement. Our advice? Just leave it as it is. We use professional extraction hooks and specialist spirals designed to grip the fragment's teeth and slide it out cleanly. By choosing a professional, you're usually saving the lock itself, which keeps your costs down.

Our expert Broken Key Extraction in Annfield Plain services are available across County Durham. Fast response times guaranteed.
Is your door feeling stiff?
Often, a key snaps because the lock was already struggling. If you've noticed you have to 'jiggle' the handle or pull the door toward you just to get the key to turn, that's a sign of lock binding. This puts immense pressure on the metal of the key until eventually, it gives way. While we're extracting your broken key, we can take a look at the alignment of your door. If your uPVC multi-point locking system is misaligned, we can often reset it there and then. It’s better to fix the root cause now than to have another key snap on you in a few weeks' time.

Once we've successfully removed the broken piece, what happens next? If you have a spare key inside, you're good to go. If that was your only set, don't panic. We can often cut new keys on-site or, if the lock was damaged when the key snapped, we can install a high-security anti-snap replacement immediately. We carry a wide range of stock on our van, from Euro cylinders to Mortice locks, ensuring your home is secure before we leave. We've helped over 150 local customers who have left us five-star reviews, so you can trust we’ll treat your home with respect.
FAQ
Frequently Asked Broken Key Extraction in Annfield Plain Questions
Answers to common questions about our Broken Key Extraction in Annfield Plain
Locked Out with a Snapped Key? Get Expert Help in Annfield Plain
Snap. It is a sound that immediately makes your stomach drop. You are either trying to get home after a long shift or rushing out the door, and now half your key is in your hand while the other half is stuck deep inside the lock. If you are in Annfield Plain or anywhere across County Durham, do not panic. Fortify Locksmiths is your local, independent specialist for broken key extraction. We get to you fast and help you get back to your day with as little stress as possible.
How quickly can a locksmith get to Annfield Plain for a snapped key?
Because we are based locally, we usually arrive at your property within 30 to 60 minutes. We treat a snapped key as an emergency, especially if you are locked out of your house. We will give you an accurate arrival time when you call us so you aren't left standing in the cold.
Can you remove a broken key from a uPVC door?
Yes, we do this every day. uPVC locks require a bit more care because of the way the cylinders are designed, but we have the right tools to pull the broken piece out cleanly. Even if the key snapped while the door was locked, we can still get it out and get the door open.
Will I need a new lock after the broken key is removed?
Usually, no. If the lock itself is in good condition, we simply remove the fragment and you can go back to using your spare key. However, if the key snapped because the lock is old or jammed, we might suggest a lock repair or a new cylinder. We always talk you through the options and the costs before we start.
Do you offer on-site key cutting after an extraction?
If we need to replace your lock cylinder, it will come with a brand-new set of keys. If we just remove the broken bit and you don't have a spare, we can fit a new high-security, anti-snap lock right there on the spot. This makes sure your home is secure and you have a working set of keys immediately.
