Broken Key Extraction

A key that snaps in the cylinder is one of the most common calls we get. The good news: with the right extraction tools the broken piece can usually be removed without damaging the lock.

24/7 Emergency Service · Covering Marbella to Sotogrande

What we can help with

  • Keys snapped in front-door cylinders
  • Broken keys in gate, letterbox and storage locks
  • Keys bent or stuck in the cylinder
  • Padlocks and garage-door key switches
  • Spare key cut-off pieces jammed in the lock
  • Cylinder replacement if the lock is damaged

Don’t try to push it out

Using tweezers, glue or a hairpin often pushes the broken piece deeper or damages the pins, turning a quick extraction into a cylinder replacement. Leave the lock as it is and call us — keep the other half of the key, as it helps.

Why keys break

Keys usually break because of a worn copy, a stiff cylinder or a door that is misaligned so the bolt drags. After extraction we check the cause, so the problem does not happen again with the next key.

What our customers say

Reviews from real customers. Have we helped you? We would be grateful for your review.

Locked myself out late at night after the front door slammed shut behind me. They arrived quickly and opened the door without any damage.

James H.Marbella

Very knowledgeable and honest team. They replaced the locks and carried out a full security assessment after we moved into our villa.

Sarah W.Estepona

Excellent service from a reliable local company. Our CCTV system was installed neatly and we can now monitor the property from our phones.

Frequently asked questions

Will I need a new lock?

Usually not. If the cylinder was already worn or gets damaged, we can replace it on the same visit.

The door is locked and the key broke — can you still open it?

Yes. We extract the piece and then open the door, or open it first if the situation requires it.
