Why Choose Us?

Why Keys Break

Keys typically snap due to a combination of factors. Often, it's down to wear and tear over time, especially with older, more frequently used keys. Sometimes, excessive force might be applied when a lock is stiff or faulty. An existing issue within the lock mechanism can also put undue pressure on the key, causing it to shear off. Whatever the reason, a broken key piece left inside the cylinder will effectively jam the lock, making it impossible to use the door, compromising your home's or business's security.
