Broken Key Extraction in Roslyn, NY

A broken key job runs $95 to $225 or more, and the spread comes down to two things: where the break happened and how far in it went. A key snapped flush in a standard door cylinder is usually the quick, lower end of the range.

A key broken off deep in an ignition, or one that's bent or jammed sideways in the pins, takes longer and needs more specialized extraction tools, which pushes the price up. The technician quotes an exact number on the callback once you describe where the break is and what kind of lock or ignition it's in, before anyone drives out.

Call (516) 636-1712 and a dispatcher takes your location and number right away, then the nearest available technician calls you back within a few minutes to talk through the break and quote a price before the visit is confirmed. In Roslyn that technician is typically on-site in 15 to 30 minutes, whether you're off Main Street, Old Northern Boulevard, Northern Boulevard (25A), or Roslyn Road.

If you're calling about a car ignition and the vehicle is drivable at all, having it somewhere with legal parking near your location speeds things up since the technician needs to work at the car itself.

Stop trying to turn or wiggle the remaining piece. Every attempt to force it tends to push the fragment deeper or snap it again, turning a straightforward extraction into a longer job.

Leave the broken piece exactly where it is, have your phone ready for the callback so you can describe the lock (front door, mailbox, car door, ignition), and if it's a house lock, know whether you have a spare key or will need a new one cut on the spot once the fragment is out.
