Snapped your key in the lock?

It’s one of those heart-sink moments, isn’t it? You’re stood on your doorstep in Washington, shopping bags in hand, and as you turn the key, you hear that dreaded "crack." Half the key is in your hand, and the other half is buried deep inside the lock barrel. Most people's first instinct is to try and dig it out with a pair of tweezers or a safety pin, but that usually just pushes the fragment further in. Don't panic – we've seen this hundreds of times across Sunderland and we can get it sorted without ruining your door. Our broken key extraction service is designed to be quick and stress-free, getting that pesky bit of metal out so you can get on with your day.

Why do keys snap anyway?

It’s rarely just bad luck. Often, it’s a sign that your multi-point-lock-repairs are overdue. If your uPVC door has become stiff or you’re having to "heave" the handle up to lock it, you’re putting massive pressure on that thin bit of metal. Over time, tiny cracks form, and eventually, it just gives up. Sometimes it’s just a worn-out key that’s seen better days. Whatever the cause, once we’ve got the fragment out, we can check your door’s alignment to make sure it doesn’t happen again. We can even provide lost key replacement on-site if you don't have a spare handy.
