Broken Key in the Lock
A piece of key broken off in the lock is frustrating, but entirely manageable for a professional. We remove the broken piece as carefully as possible and advise you on the best next step.

How is a broken key removed?
A key usually breaks off because the lock is stiff or the key was already weakened. Never force it further — that pushes the piece deeper into the lock and makes removal harder.
Using specialist extraction hooks and tools, we remove the broken piece from the cylinder. Whether the cylinder needs replacing afterwards depends on the condition of the lock and cylinder.
Need a new cylinder? We check on site which type fits (SKG**, SKG***, multi-point lock) and recommend a suitable replacement.

Questions
Frequently asked questions
Can the key always be removed without replacing the lock?
In most cases yes. If the cylinder is intact and there is no further damage, removal is possible without replacement. We assess this on site.
What does removing a broken key cost?
The price depends on how deep the piece is lodged and the condition of the lock. You always receive an estimate upfront.
Can I try it myself with pliers or a paperclip?
We strongly advise against it. Attempting this incorrectly often pushes the piece deeper into the lock, making removal more complicated and more expensive.
Do you also help in the evening or at night?
Yes, we are available 24/7 for emergency situations in Maastricht and the surrounding region.
