Getting a snapped key out intact
Keys snap because they have been weakening for a while. Repeated flexing work-hardens the metal at the shoulder, and a key that has needed wiggling or forcing for months eventually gives up, usually in cold weather when the lock is stiffest. That history matters, because if the lock was already fighting the key, extraction alone will not stop it happening again.
Extraction uses thin spiral or hooked extractors slid alongside the broken blade to catch the cuts and draw it out. Done properly nothing is damaged and the lock is usable immediately. The methods that cause damage are the improvised ones: superglue on a matchstick pushes the fragment deeper and glues the wafers, and needle-nose pliers on a fragment that is flush with the face simply push it in further.
Once the piece is out we would rather find out why it broke. If the cylinder is worn, gritty or misaligned it will break the next key too, so a service, a rekey or a strike adjustment at the same visit is usually cheaper than a second call-out.
Frequently asked questions
In the great majority of cases, yes. Purpose-made extractors catch the blade and draw it out with the lock left fully usable. Damage tends to come from improvised attempts rather than from the break itself.
Better not to, and definitely not with glue. Superglue bonds the wafers as well as the fragment and turns a straightforward extraction into a lock replacement. Pliers on a flush fragment usually push it deeper.
Metal fatigue, usually after months of a key that needed forcing or wiggling. That means the lock is likely worn or misaligned, so it is worth addressing the cause at the same visit or it will happen again.
