Need Broken Key Extraction in Hebburn?
Broken Key Extraction in Hebburn Operating Across South Tyneside
Snapped your key in the lock?
It usually happens at the worst possible moment, doesn't it? You're rushing out for the school run or coming home after a long shift in Hebburn, you turn the key, and—snap. Half the key is in your hand, and the other half is buried deep inside the barrel. It’s a blooming nightmare that leaves you feeling stuck and your home insecure. If this has just happened to you, don't worry. We see this all the time across South Tyneside, and the good news is that it’s rarely as bad as it looks when you've got the right tools on hand.
Why Choose Us?
Don't reach for the superglue just yet.
Most people’s first instinct is to try and fish the bit out with a pair of tweezers or, worse, try to glue the two halves back together. Please, for the sake of your wallet, don't do it! We’ve seen many simple extractions turn into expensive lock replacements because a bit of glue has ruined the internal pins. Usually, when a key snaps, it's because the lock was already binding or the uPVC mechanism had become stiff. Trying to force it or poking at it with a screwdriver often just pushes the fragment past the 'shear line,' making it much harder to retrieve. If you leave it exactly as it is, we can usually get it out in minutes.

Who We Are
Expert extraction without the damage.
At Fortify Locksmiths, we’re big believers in 'non-destructive entry.' This means we use specialist extraction kits—think tiny, high-grade steel hooks and spirals—to grip the broken fragment and slide it out without harming the lock cylinder. Whether it’s a standard Euro cylinder on your patio doors or a traditional mortice lock on a wooden front door, our goal is to save the lock. Because we’re NCFE Level 4 qualified (the highest level you can get in the UK), we have the technical know-how to handle even the most stubborn snags. Once the fragment is out, we’ll check why it snapped in the first place. Often, a quick bit of lubrication or a minor alignment fix is all that's needed to stop it happening again.
