A key snapped in a door lock or ignition needs careful assessment. A-I Locksmith and Security provides broken-key extraction assistance for homes, businesses, and vehicles throughout Dallas–Fort Worth.
Request service: Call (817) 760-2420. Tell us your city and what happened. We confirm availability, the estimated response time, and the work required for your request.
Stop before the damage gets worse
Do not force another key or unfamiliar tool into the lock. Keep the broken pieces if you have them, and tell us whether the door is locked, whether the remaining key is visible, and what happened before it broke. For vehicle service, include the year, make, and model.
Check why the key broke
Removing the fragment is only part of the job. Wear, misalignment, a damaged key, or an internal lock fault can contribute to breakage. The technician assesses the condition afterward and explains whether a new key, adjustment, repair, or replacement is appropriate.
Test access after the repair
Use a sound key to check the lock with the technician. A key that still binds should not simply be forced. If you need a replacement key or a spare, mention it before the visit so the required key type and equipment can be considered.
Common questions
Can you remove a key without changing the lock?
Sometimes. The answer depends on the fragment’s position and the lock’s condition. We assess the lock before recommending replacement.
Do you extract keys from car ignitions?
We assess broken-key ignition requests. Tell us the vehicle details and whether the cylinder was already difficult to turn.
