Broken Key Extraction in Boca Raton

Key snapped off inside the lock? Don't try to dig it out or force it — that pushes the piece deeper and can ruin the cylinder. Locksmith Auto removes the broken piece with extraction tools, checks the lock, and cuts you a new key on the spot.

  • Car doors, trunks and ignitions — with a new key cut and programmed if needed. See car key replacement.

What to do right now

Leave the piece in the lock and don't try to turn it. Keep the broken half — it helps us cut a new key. Call or text (561) 212-2220 with a photo of the lock.

After extraction

We test the lock. If it's damaged, we repair or replace it in the same visit. Worn keys break most often — if your other keys are worn too, we'll cut fresh copies. All work carries our 90-day warranty.

Frequently Asked Questions

Can a broken key be removed without replacing the lock?

In most cases, yes. We extract the piece with specialized tools; if the lock is undamaged, it keeps working with a new key.

Can you make a new key from the broken pieces?

Often, yes. We can cut a new key from the two halves, or from the lock itself if a piece is missing.

Do you remove broken keys from car doors and ignitions?

Yes. For cars we extract the key and can cut and program a new one — see car key replacement.

Should I use glue or tweezers to get it out?

No. Glue can seal the lock, and tweezers usually push the piece deeper. Call us before you try.
