Service for extracting broken or stuck keys in the lock in Madrid.

Why does a key break or get blocked?

Keys are not made of materials as resistant as cylinders or locks. With the passage of time and continued use, the metal wears out. The most common causes are:

Wear of the metal due to daily use.
Trying to force the key when opening.
Manufacturing defects in the key duplicate.
Old or poorly lubricated locks that cause jams.

When this happens, it is most advisable not to try to remove the key on your own. Using household items can worsen the situation, damage the cylinder and force you to change the cylinder or even the complete lock — much more expensive than a professional extraction.

Frequently asked questions about key extraction

⚠️ Why shouldn't I try to take out the broken key myself?

Trying to extract it with household items can push the fragment further in, damage the cylinder pins, or permanently block the lock. A failed attempt can turn a simple extraction into a cylinder change or even a lock change.

🔧 Will I have to change the lock after an extraction?

Not necessarily. When the extraction is done correctly and the lock is not damaged, it can continue to be used. We inform you of the status before concluding and, if necessary, we propose the replacement of the cylinder.
