Broken safe key extraction: questions and answers
Can the fragment be removed without changing the lock?
Sometimes, but extraction does not prove that the lock is undamaged. The engineer checks operation before recommending reuse.
Should I try glue to pull out the broken piece?
No. Adhesive can contaminate the lock and make the repair harder. Keep the fragments for the engineer.
What affects the quotation for broken safe key extraction?
Fragment access, lock damage and replacement key requirements affect the price. A quotation should confirm the agreed scope, any parts and charges before work is arranged.
