Why Choose Us?

Why do keys actually snap?

Most people think they've just been a bit too heavy-handed, but it's rarely your fault. Over time, metal keys develop tiny stress fractures, especially if the lock is a bit 'sticky.' If you have a uPVC or composite door with a multi-point locking system, you might have noticed the handle becoming harder to lift lately. This extra pressure puts immense strain on the key right at the 'shear line'—the weakest point where the teeth are cut. Eventually, it just snaps. We specialise in broken key extraction across Sunderland, identifying why it happened so we can fix the root cause and stop it from happening again.

Who We Are

Stop! Put the tweezers away.

We've seen all sorts of DIY 'hacks' in Hetton-Le-Hole—people trying to fish out fragments with safety pins, pliers, or even trying to glue the two halves back together. Unfortunately, these methods usually push the broken bit further into the lock or ruin the internal pins entirely. Our approach is strictly non-destructive entry. As NCFE Level 4 qualified locksmiths, we use professional extraction tools like specialist hooks, spirals, and tweezers designed specifically for this job. We can usually retrieve the fragment in minutes, leaving your lock perfectly intact and saving you the cost of a full replacement.
