Some locks are very difficult to remove a broken key from. This can be because the door or lock has been damaged in some way or because the broken key is stuck on something inside the lock. If this is the case, call Blue Star for help.
In order for us to extract your broken key from your lock, we will need access to the inside of your door. We do not want our customers paying for services that they are not able to complete themselves. Therefore, we charge a small fee to unlock your door from the inside of your home. This includes accessing the lock, removing the broken key, and securing the lock for you.
After we unlock your door for you, we will remove the broken key from your lock. If there is something lodged inside of your lock, we will try to extract it and remove it if possible. If the broken key has caused damage to the interior of your locks, such as jamming up a spring or other internal workings, we may need to repair this damage first. This repair service can be costly depending on what needs to be repaired. At Blue Star Locksmith Services, we try to determine whether or not it makes sense for us to repair broken key extraction jobs before we begin working on them. In some cases, it might be less expensive to replace the lock than repair it.
