Need Broken Key Extraction in Blaydon?
Broken Key Extraction in Blaydon Operating Across Gateshead
Snapped your key in Blaydon?
It’s a sound every homeowner dreads—that sudden 'clink' as the key snaps off, leaving half in your hand and the other half stuck deep inside the barrel. Whether you were rushing to get the kids to school or just getting home after a long shift in Gateshead, a broken key always seems to happen at the most inconvenient moment. If you're currently standing on your doorstep staring at a useless piece of metal, don't worry. At Fortify Locksmiths, we’ve helped hundreds of neighbours in Blaydon and across the North East get back indoors quickly, safely, and without any fuss.
Why Choose Us?
Why keys break inside locks.
Most of the time, a key doesn't just snap because of a one-off twist. It’s usually the result of metal fatigue over several years. Think about your uPVC door—have you noticed the handle getting a bit stiff lately? Or maybe you have to give the door a little 'lift' to get the multi-point locking system to engage? When a door is slightly out of alignment, it puts massive pressure on the key at the 'shear line.' Eventually, the metal gives up. Whether it’s a standard euro cylinder on a back door or a traditional mortice lock on a timber front door, we have the tools to fish out the fragment and figure out why it happened in the first place.

Who We Are
Avoid the DIY temptation.
When you’re stuck, it’s incredibly tempting to grab a pair of pliers or, even worse, try a 'life hack' involving a drop of superglue. Most homeowners we speak to in Blaydon tell us they tried to poke the fragment with a screwdriver first, but this almost always makes the situation more expensive. Pushing at a snapped key usually shoves it further into the lock mechanism, making a simple extraction much trickier. Using glue can actually bond the internal pins of the lock together, meaning you'll need a whole new lock instead of just a quick extraction. If your key has snapped, the best thing you can do is leave it exactly where it is and give us a call on 0191 743 2410.
