Broken Key Extraction in Jericho, NY

A broken key extraction runs $95 to $225 or more. The spread comes down to where the key broke and how it broke: a key snapped near the tip in a standard door lock is usually the quick end of that range, while a key sheared off deep inside an ignition cylinder, or one that broke while the lock was mid-turn, takes longer and costs more.

If the extraction reveals worn or damaged pins, that gets quoted separately before any work starts.

Jericho has no LIRR stop, so every job here is a driving job, and our dispatch accounts for that when routing the nearest technician along the Jericho Turnpike/Route 106-107 corridor, the LIE, or the Northern State depending on where you are. That covers both sides of town, from the Birchwood-era subdivisions in East and West Birchwood to the newer townhouse and condo developments and the Jericho Plaza office corridor.

Typical arrival is 15 to 30 minutes once a technician calls you back with a price.

Do not try to grab the broken piece with tweezers or pliers, and do not spray in lubricant. Both can push the fragment further in or coat it so the extractor cannot get a grip.

Leave the key where it is, have the rest of the broken key on hand if you have it since it helps confirm the key type, and know whether the lock still turns at all. When you call, a dispatcher takes your number and the nearest technician calls back within a few minutes with a real price before anything is scheduled.
