Can you extract without replacing the lock?

Often yes—depending on damage and cylinder condition.

Can you make a new key after extraction?

Often, depending on the vehicle, key type, and the condition of the lock or ignition. We can confirm replacement options after the broken fragment is removed and the system is assessed.

Does this affect ignition function?

If the cylinder is worn or binding, ignition service may be recommended.

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.
