Frequently Asked Questions
How much does broken key extraction cost in Arlington?
Extraction alone typically runs $75-$150 depending on how the key broke and where — a clean break in a door lock is quick, while a key snapped deep in an ignition takes more care. Cutting a replacement key adds to that, and we quote the total before starting. Doing it right is far cheaper than the cylinder replacement that follows a botched DIY attempt.
My key broke off in the lock — should I try to pull it out myself?
Please do not. Pliers, tweezers, and glue almost always push the broken piece deeper or score the cylinder, turning a simple extraction into a full lock or ignition replacement. Leave the broken half where it is and call us — our extractor tools grab the key fragment cleanly without damaging the lock.
Can you get a key out of my ignition without damaging it?
In most cases, yes. Ignition extractions are more delicate than door locks because of the wafers and the steering-column wiring, but our tools are made for exactly this. If the wafers were damaged when the key broke, we will tell you whether a rebuild or replacement is needed rather than just patching over the problem.
Why did my key break in the first place?
Keys usually snap because the blade was worn thin from years of use, the lock was stiff or dry, or the key was a low-quality copy of a copy. After extraction we can cut you a fresh key from a strong blank and, if the lock itself is binding, recommend a quick lube or rekey so the next key does not meet the same fate.
