A key snapped in the lock is one of the most common emergency call-outs we attend. The good news: in 95% of cases we extract the broken portion without any damage to the cylinder, then cut a fresh key on the van so you can lock up and walk away within the hour. We use spiral extractors, broken-key pullers and Souber tools — never destructive techniques as the first step.
Chelmsford's massive Beaulieu Park and Channels developments overwhelmingly use TS007 3-star Avocet ABS or Ultion cylinders — these are van stock for CM1 alongside replacement Yale Doormaster gearboxes for the older Springfield estates.
