Key snapped in your lock? SIDE Locksmiths remove broken keys and provide replacement cylinders across South Yorkshire — Mon–Sun 07:00–23:00.
SNAPPED KEY REMOVAL IN ROTHERHAM
A key snapping inside a lock is a common problem, particularly with older or worn keys and euro cylinder locks. If your key has snapped in the lock, don't try to glue it, push it further in, or use pliers — this can push the broken piece deeper into the mechanism and make removal much more difficult. Call SIDE Locksmiths and we'll remove the broken key quickly and professionally.
While key extraction is sometimes successful using specialist tools, in most cases the cylinder itself must be snapped or broken to remove the key fragment — particularly with euro cylinder locks where the key has sheared inside the mechanism. In these instances, a new replacement cylinder must be provided. We carry a range of replacement cylinders in our van and can fit a new one on the same visit. The replacement cylinder is a separately priced item, and we'll always provide a fixed quote before fitting.
Lock snapping is also a common burglary technique used on euro cylinder locks. If your key has snapped because someone attempted to snap the lock, we can assess the damage, secure your property, and upgrade your lock to an anti-snap cylinder to prevent future attacks. We strongly recommend TS007 3-star anti-snap cylinders for all properties with euro cylinder locks.
We serve residential and commercial properties across Rotherham and South Yorkshire. We always provide a fixed quote before starting any work, and no additional work is carried out without your approval.
