What is Key Extraction and When Do You Need It?
Key extraction is a specialized locksmithing process used to remove broken keys from locks and key cylinders—whether it’s a padlock, deadbolt, motorcycle ignition, or garage door. In the harsh Ontario winters, wear and tear or brittle metal often leads to key snapping, especially in older mortise locks or when using worn-out transponder or smart keys.
From homes in The Annex to businesses in the Discovery District, broken keys create urgent lockout scenarios. Our team serves condos, offices, vehicles, and even storage units—bringing the right tools (like spiral extractors and pliers) for the job.

- Preparation – We apply lubricants, ideal for older locks found in heritage buildings or downtown retail spaces.
- Extraction – Using specialized tools, we gently extract the key piece—perfect for vehicle locks, smart locks, or motorcycle ignitions.
