Broken Key Extraction in Hicksville, NY

A basic extraction from a standard door lock, where the key snapped near the opening and there is something to grip, runs toward the lower end of $95 to $225 or more. It costs more when the break is deep in the cylinder, the key sheared at an angle, the lock is older or worn enough that extraction risks further damage, or the break is inside a car ignition rather than a door.

Ignition extractions take longer because the technician has to work around the ignition switch without triggering it. Your technician gives you the exact number on the callback, before the visit is scheduled, once they know which of these applies.

Call (516) 636-1712 and a dispatcher takes your job and number right away; the nearest available technician calls back within a few minutes to hear the details and quote a price, then heads out once you accept. Hicksville's downtown around the LIRR station on Newbridge Road (NY 106) is dense and often busy with commuter traffic and station parking, so if you are near there, mention a cross street or a landmark like Broadway Mall so the technician can find parking and reach you on foot if needed.

If you are elsewhere in Hicksville, off Broadway/Hicksville Road (NY 107) or Old Country Road, a house or apartment address is enough. Typical arrival is 15 to 25 minutes.

Do not try to pull, wiggle, or re-insert the broken piece, and do not spray lubricant into the lock; both can push the fragment deeper or make it harder to grip. If it is a car ignition, leave the key where it broke and do not attempt to start the vehicle.

Have the rest of the key or a photo of it on hand if you have one, since it helps the technician identify the type of extraction tool needed before they arrive, and know whether you want a replacement key cut on the spot once the broken piece is out.
