Need Broken Key Extraction in South Shields?
Broken Key Extraction in South Shields Operating Across South Tyneside
Snapped key in your lock?
It always seems to happen at the worst possible moment, doesn't it? You're heading out for a walk along Sandhaven Beach or rushing off to work, and suddenly — snap — you're left holding half a key while the other half stays stuck deep inside the barrel. It’s a gut-wrenching feeling, but please, try not to panic. Most homeowners we talk to in South Shields instinctively try to dig the fragment out with a pair of tweezers or, even worse, try to push the broken bit back in to turn the lock. This usually just shoves the metal deeper into the mechanism, making it much harder to retrieve. At Fortify Locksmiths, we see this every week and we have the right tools to sort it out without the drama.
Why Choose Us?
We'll retrieve it without any damage.
The biggest worry folks have when a key breaks is that they’ll need a whole new lock, which can get expensive. But here’s the good news: we specialise in non-destructive entry and extraction. This means we use professional extraction hooks and spiral tools to gently tease that broken fragment out of the shear line. Nine times out of ten, we can get the bit out and leave your lock perfectly intact and working just as it should. It’s a much faster and cheaper solution than replacing the entire unit, and it's exactly why we’re trusted by so many neighbours across South Tyneside.

Who We Are
Why did my key break?
It’s rarely just a case of 'using too much muscle.' Often, keys snap because the lock itself is struggling. If you have a uPVC door, the multi-point locking system might have become misaligned over time, making the handle stiff. You find yourself putting more and more pressure on the key to get it to turn, and eventually, the metal just gives up. When we come out to your home in South Shields, we won't just pull the key out and leave. We’ll take a proper look at the lock's health. If the mechanism is binding or the door has dropped, we can realign it for you there and then, preventing the same thing from happening again next month.
