Snapped key in the lock?

At Fortify Locksmiths, we specialise in getting those pesky fragments out without ruining your lock or your door.

Why Choose Us?

Why do keys break?

Most people think they've just been too heavy-handed, but it's rarely your fault. Over time, keys develop tiny stress fractures, especially if they're used in a stiff uPVC door. In Ponteland, we often find that the multi-point locking system has become slightly misaligned, meaning you have to force the handle up or turn the key harder than you should. That extra pressure eventually snaps the metal right at the 'shear line'. Whether it's a standard euro cylinder or a traditional mortice lock, we have the specialist tools like hooks and spirals to fish it out safely.

Who We Are

Skip the DIY hacks.

It's tempting to grab a pair of pliers or, even worse, try the 'superglue on a matchstick' trick you saw online. Please, for the sake of your wallet, don't do it! We've had many calls where a simple extraction turned into a full lock replacement because a homeowner accidentally glued the fragment to the internal pins or pushed it further into the mechanism. Professional extraction tools are designed to grip the fragment delicately and slide it out. Our goal is always non-destructive entry, meaning we save the lock so you don't have to pay for a new one.
