Broken Car Key Extraction in Tampa – Key Stuck in Ignition or Door

A key can snap in the ignition or door cylinder due to wear, twisting force, or a tight/dirty cylinder. Breaking the key is stressful—but extraction can often be done without damaging the lock when handled correctly.

What NOT to do

Avoid super glue, forceful picks, and untrained prying. Those actions can push the fragment deeper or damage the cylinder, making the repair more expensive.

Professional extraction approach

​We assess the cylinder condition, extract the fragment using appropriate tools, then determine whether a new key should be cut, the cylinder should be serviced, or an ignition repair is needed.

After extraction

If the key broke because it’s worn, consider replacing it and making a spare. If the cylinder is binding, ignition service may prevent repeat breakage.
