see MOREOne of the most common reasons people require our emergency service is when keys snap in locks. Here, we look at the causes of keys snapping and how our professionals can help.
Keys are typically stored in multiple locations, such as your pocket, purse, rucksack and gym bag. This causes a key to accumulate grime and dust, leading to a lack of lubrication and getting stuck in locks. Or, when keys have rough edges, they can hook into the lock pins.
Whether you’ve had a busy day or all your keys look the same, you can accidentally use the wrong key for your lock. Unfortunately, when attempting to remove the wrong key, it can often break.
If the lock on your property is broken and you try to use your key, it could snap off when you try to turn it. Our team are always available to deal with emergency lockouts and help you safely enter your building in or around Brighton or Hove.
Our experienced specialists are trained to extract keys from locks in various ways. We always tailor our approach to each situation to ensure the best outcome. The most common way our locksmiths remove broken keys from locks is by using a key extractor.
Key extractors are tools specially designed to remove broken keys from locks. Spiral key extractors have a small metal section with tiny grooves that grip the broken key. Our locksmiths will put the key extractor along the edge of the key, twist it and pull out the broken key. It is important to let our professionals manage removals because, if used incorrectly, extractors can push the broken key further into the lock.
If you need an emergency lockout service in Brighton, Lewes, Hove or any of the surrounding areas, do not hesitate to call our specialists at any time.
