A key snapped in the lock is one of the most common emergency call-outs we attend. The good news: in 95% of cases we extract the broken portion without any damage to the cylinder, then cut a fresh key on the van so you can lock up and walk away within the hour. We use spiral extractors, broken-key pullers and Souber tools — never destructive techniques as the first step.
Watford's regeneration around the High Street has produced large new apartment blocks alongside dense Victorian terraces in Oxhey and Callowland — we carry hardware for both the latest Yale Superior multipoint systems and original Era and Chubb mortice locks.
What's included
- Non-destructive extraction of snapped keys from euro, mortice and rim cylinders
- Replacement key cut on the van from the original profile
- Lock left in full working order — no drilling required in 95% of cases
