Why Choose Us?

Don't reach for the superglue just yet.

When a key breaks, the first instinct is often to try and fish it out with a pair of tweezers or, even worse, try to glue the head back on to turn it. We’ve seen it all! Honestly, the best thing you can do is leave it exactly as it is. Poking at the fragment usually just shoves it deeper into the lock, making a simple extraction much trickier. Keys usually snap because the metal has fatigued over time or because the multi-point lock has become stiff and requires too much force to turn. Whether it’s a standard front door or a tricky window lock, we’ve got the specialist extraction tools to pull that fragment out without causing any damage to the lock itself.

Who We Are

Expert extraction without the damage.

You might be worried that a broken key means you’ll need a whole new lock, but that’s rarely the case when you call us. We specialise in "non-destructive entry." This means we use precision hooks, spirals, and tweezers to grip the snapped piece and slide it out cleanly. Because we’re NCFE Level 4 qualified—that’s the highest level in the industry—we understand the internal mechanics of your locks. We’ll get the fragment out and check why it snapped in the first place. Often, a quick bit of lock repair and servicing or a slight realignment of a dropped door is all that's needed to stop it from happening again.
