Why Choose Us?
Why keys snap in locks.
You might be wondering why your key decided to give up the ghost today of all days. Usually, it isn't just a "weak" key. In many Gateshead homes, especially those with uPVC doors, the multi-point locking system can become stiff or misaligned over time. This creates "lock binding," where you have to force the handle up or put extra pressure on the key just to get it to turn. That extra stress eventually hits the "shear line" of the key, and it snaps. Whether it's a Euro cylinder on your back door or a traditional mortice lock on a wooden front door, we can diagnose why it happened and fix the root cause, not just the broken bit of metal.

Who We Are
Avoid the superglue trap.
It’s incredibly tempting to try and fish the bit out yourself with a pair of tweezers or, worse, a drop of superglue on the other half of the key. We’ve seen many well-meaning DIY attempts go wrong! The problem is, poking around in the barrel usually pushes the fragment deeper into the mechanism, making a simple extraction much tougher. Glue can ruin the internal pins of your lock entirely, turning a quick repair into an expensive replacement. Our advice? Leave it exactly where it is. We use professional extraction tools—hooks, spirals, and specialist tweezers—to grip the fragment and slide it out safely.
