Why do you need professionals for broken key extraction?

Only an expert will be able to undertake broken key extraction without damaging the lock in the process. When you call our helpdesk, our team will be on the way to reach you immediately. We use extractor tools and extractor kits to do this safely. Always leave it to the professionals that know the process. Use of hook probes and adhesives might complicate a simple situation.

After the extraction we might also offer rekeying their security concerns are present.
