Broken Key? Leave It to Us

Keys usually break because they are worn, bent or forced into a sticky lock. The broken piece is often wedged against the pins, and pushing it further in makes it harder to remove. We use dedicated extractor tools to pull it out cleanly, then check why it broke.

Once it is out, we cut a fresh key, from the broken pieces, from the lock or from the key code for cars, and lubricate or repair the lock so it does not happen again.

What we handle

Where We Remove Broken Keys

  • Front door and deadbolt locks
  • Car doors and trunks
  • Ignitions
  • Padlocks and gates
  • Mailbox locks
  • Commercial and office locks

How it works

Three Steps, One Visit

  1. Call or send the form

    Tell us what happened and, for cars, the year, make and model. We give you an honest price on the phone.

  2. We come to you

    A fully equipped Smart Locks van heads to your location, usually within 20 to 30 minutes in most of Tampa Bay.

  3. Job done on the spot

    Keys cut and programmed, doors opened or locks fitted at your location. You pay the price we quoted.

Questions

Broken Key Extraction FAQ

Can you make a new key from the broken pieces?

Often, yes. If the pieces are too worn, we make a key from the lock or, for cars, from the key code.

Will the lock need to be replaced?

Usually not. Most locks are fine after extraction. If it is damaged we can repair or replace it on the spot.

Should I try to get it out myself?

We recommend not. Glue and makeshift tools often push the piece deeper or jam the lock.

I lost the only key to my car. After struggling with the car dealership, a tow company, and AAA, I found Smart Locks. Not only was the service quick (5 minutes to make two keys without an original) it was also professional and courteous. And the best part- around 1/2 the price the dealership was going to charge me for 1 key. I absolutely will call Smart Lock next time and will instantly recommend it to everyone else.

Outstanding customer service. Danny is reliable, quick and professional. He came out on a Sunday night to the airport and got us going again in a few short minutes. He was communicative, efficient, and a pleasure to work with. I cannot say enough good things about his service, and highly recommend him for your commercial and residential needs.

I'm extremely satisfied with smart locks, I went on vacation in Tampa, lost my rental car keys in the middle of the night, I called two other companies that was closed but Danny from smart locks was able to arrive within half an hour and make me a key in no time! Extremely fast, friendly and professional service, thank you Danny

I locked myself out of the car and left the keys on the front seat. Along with the car keys was my house key. After calling a few different locksmiths, I got in touch with Danny. He was personable, professional, and quick to respond. The price he quoted me beat everybody else's and he was able to get the job done super fast. Through it all he was able to display the kind of demeanor that would keep a client relaxed during a stressful situation.
