Do locks need to be replaced if keys break off inside them?
No, not commonly. Usually the broken key extraction service experts here at Green Locksmith Daytona can remove key pieces out of your lock in an efficient and effective manner. However, sometimes when amateur attempts at broken key extraction are attempted, locks get damaged and need to be wholly replaced.

Do I have to rekey my locks after broken key extraction service?
No, not necessarily. Our professional broken key extraction team will ensure that your lock structure isn’t affected, so that rekeying service won’t be necessary.

Can I open my door by connecting the pieces of my broken key together inside the lock?
No! This should never be tried. Usually doing this causes the broken key to get stuck even worse inside the lock mechanism, making it much harder to remove. If your key ever gets stuck or broken inside your rlock, contact a trusted broken key extraction locksmith team like those here at Green Locksmith Daytona as soon as possible – and never try to place foreign objects inside the lock to remove the pieces of the broken key yourself.
