Broken Key Extraction in Tow Law Operating Across County Durham

Snapped your key in Tow Law?

There is nothing quite like that sinking feeling when you hear a sharp 'click' and realise half your key is still inside the lock. It usually happens when you're in a rush or it's freezing cold outside on a typical County Durham evening. If you've found yourself standing on your doorstep in Tow Law with a useless piece of metal in your hand, don't worry—you aren't the first, and you certainly won't be the last. At Fortify Locksmiths, we see this every single week. Whether it's a worn-out key that finally gave up or a stiff uPVC door that required a bit too much force, we've got the tools and the patience to get that fragment out and get you back inside.

Why Choose Us?

Resist the urge to reach for the glue

It is tempting to try a bit of DIY when you can see the end of the key poking out. Most homeowners we speak to have tried using a pair of tweezers or, worse, a drop of superglue. We always advise our neighbours in Tow Law to step away from the toolbox! Poking at a snapped key usually pushes the fragment further into the lock barrel, making it much harder (and more expensive) to retrieve. If you push it past the 'shear line,' you might end up needing a full lock replacement. Instead of risking a bigger repair bill, give us a call. We use specialist extraction hooks and spirals designed to grip the fragment and slide it out safely without harming the delicate internal pins.

Why keys snap in uPVC doors

Have you noticed your uPVC door handle becoming stiff lately? Or perhaps you have to lift the handle specifically high to get it to lock? This is often a sign that your multi-point locking system is misaligned. When the door doesn't sit right in the frame, the lock 'binds,' putting massive pressure on the key. Eventually, the metal fatigues and snaps. While we're extracting your key, we can also check the alignment of your door. Often, a simple adjustment can prevent the same thing from happening again next month. From anti-snap lock upgrades to fixing floppy handles, we make sure your home security is up to scratch before we leave.
