The Dangers of DIY Key Extraction
When half of your key is suddenly a stuck key in ignition or wedged in the driver’s side door, panic sets in. However, the worst thing you can do is try to pull it out using household tools like tweezers, wire coat hangers, or pliers.
Modern automotive locks and ignition cylinders are packed with highly sensitive, spring-loaded metal wafers. When you attempt to remove broken key from car door locks without the proper tools, you almost always push the broken metal blade further down into the cylinder. This damages the delicate internal wafers, meaning the entire lock or ignition will need to be drilled out and completely replaced.
Our mobile technicians carry specialized, microscopic extractor tools and lock lubricants designed specifically to grip and slide the broken metal out safely, preserving your vehicle’s locking mechanisms.

KeyTech is a full-service, 100% mobile dealership alternative. When we arrive to handle your broken key extractions, our job doesn’t end when the broken piece is removed. Because we are a complete automotive locksmith, we resolve all your locked door and lock & key problems right on the spot.
1. Safe Extraction
We carefully remove the broken blade from the door, trunk, or ignition without causing any collateral damage to the vehicle.
2. Immediate Car Key Replacement
Once the broken piece is out, you still need a working key to drive your car. We use our dealer-level diagnostic tools and precision milling machines to cut and program a brand-new key right in your driveway. We provide complete all vehicle key service, meaning we can cut standard metal keys, laser cut keys, and program complex transponders immediately.
3. Ignition Switch Repair
If the key snapped because the ignition cylinder itself is seized or failing, we don’t just leave you stranded. We can perform on-site ignition replacement keys and cylinder rebuilds so your vehicle starts perfectly.
We Service All Makes & Models
Whether you snapped a standard metal key off in an older Ford F-150, or you have a broken emergency blade stuck in the door of a high-end BMW or Mercedes-Benz, we have the tools to handle it.
Dealerships will often require you to tow the vehicle to their lot and charge you for a completely new lock set. KeyTech saves you time, money, and the hassle of a tow truck by performing precision extractions and key generation wherever your car is parked.

Frequently Asked Questions
Yes. If you have both halves of the broken key, we can often decode the cuts and use our automated key machines to cut a flawless factory-spec replacement. Even if a piece is missing, we can pull the key code directly from your vehicle’s VIN or door lock.
The cost depends on where the key is broken (door lock vs. ignition) and how deeply it is lodged. When you call KeyTech, we provide a transparent, flat-rate estimate before we dispatch a technician.
Not usually. As long as you have not damaged the internal wafers by trying to force the key out yourself, our professional extraction process leaves the ignition cylinder completely intact and ready for a new key.
