Broken Ignition Key Extraction

It happens. You insert your key to open your car door and it doesn’t work. It could be the wrong key, or something could be wrong with the blade.

You give it a tug and then you feel it — your key breaks in your hand and the part that’s still stuck in the car door is left inserted in the lock. You try what you can to get it out (a paperclip, toothpick, packing tape), but it just won’t budge.

Don’t wonder how to extract a broken key.  Metro Locksmith has you covered.

Why Did My Key Break In The First Place?

Despite what you might think, the universe hasn’t turned against you. Keys can break for a lot of reasons. These reasons include:

• Temperature changes
• Metal fatigue
• High pressure

Fortunately, Metro Lock is always ready to lend a helping hand when your car key broke in ignition. If your key has been broken in the lock of your vehicle, or if debris is obstructing your key from going into the lock, give Metro Lock a call.
