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.
St Albans' Conservation Area around the Cathedral and Fishpool Street demands heritage hardware — we work to AONB specs using brass-finish Banham and Union mortice locks throughout AL3, with modern TS007 cylinders for the newer Marshalswick developments.
