The historic cottages lining Hotz Avenue and the side streets off DeFuniak often have older lock cylinders that have seen decades of salt air and humidity. This wear and tear makes the metal brittle, causing keys to snap without warning when you are turning them. We specialize in extracting these broken fragments without damaging the original hardware, preserving the character of your older beach home.
Whether it is a vintage deadbolt on a vacation rental or a standard knob on a property near the Grayton Beach State Park entrance, we have the tools to reach the broken piece. Attempting to fish it out with tweezers or needles often pushes the fragment deeper into the mechanism, making the repair much more difficult. Let us handle the extraction so you can get back to enjoying the neighborhood.
Our technicians use high-grade extractors designed to hook onto the teeth of the broken key and slide it out smoothly. We assess the lock on-site to determine if the extraction damaged the internal pins, rekeying the lock immediately if needed. This ensures you are not left with a lock that works once only to fail again the next time you turn it.
We service everything from heavy-duty padlocks on storage sheds near the dune lakes to automotive ignitions for locals parked on the sand roads. If the key broke because of a malfunctioning lock mechanism, we will explain the issue clearly before performing any work. Call us at (850) 655-7505 whenever you are locked out due to a snap.
As a local business serving the 30A community, we know that waiting hours for a technician isn't an option when you are standing outside your Grayton Beach home. We prioritize calls from village residents and property managers to minimize downtime and stress. Reach out to us today to resolve your broken key issue promptly.
