Breaking a car key in the door or ignition is more common than you think! Here’s what you can to extract the key and get a new one.
You never thought it would happen, but it has: your car key broke in the door or ignition. The truth is, it’s not your fault! Most people are surprised to learn that it doesn’t take as much force as you might expect to break a key in a car lock or ignition.
The good news is, Advanced Lock and key, your #1 locksmith in Cleveland and surrounding areas, can be your go-to for auto problems like these. Here at Advanced Locksmith, we’re trained in key extraction and car key duplication so that you can buckle up and get on with your day.
Maybe you can see the key fragment sticking out of the lock and you’re wondering whether you should just try pulling it out yourself. The problem is that keys are designed to fit snugly into the keyway. You might find that soon as you try removing the key, or using household tools to pull the key out, the fragment simply gets pushed deeper into the keyway. The danger here is that the more you attempt to get the fragment out, the higher the risk of damaging the internal mechanism of the lock cylinder. If you’re not careful, you could end up having to replace the lock entirely.
The other reason why you’ll want to call a professional is that you’ll need to replace the key. If you’re going to need a key duplication anyway, it’s best to avoid the risk of damaging your lock and rely on the pros right from the start.
