Emergency locksmith for a broken key – Sersheim

Your key broke in Sersheim (74372) and the door won’t open? This often happens with old keys that have worn thin. ikeytz removes the broken piece from the cylinder and opens the door, usually without damage.

We pull the broken piece out of the cylinder with special tools. Then we open the door. If the cylinder is worn, we recommend replacing it and tell you the price first.

With thin hook tools we reach behind the teeth of the key fragment and pull it forward. Before that, the cylinder has to be in its starting position. If the broken piece is stuck at an angle, we turn it back first. Drilling is rarely needed for this.

If the cylinder is damaged after the broken piece is removed, it usually belongs to the landlord. A swap makes sense then, but agree it with the landlord if the cylinder belongs to a system. We swap single cylinders at a fixed price.

Using glue. Pushing the broken piece deeper with a needle. Carrying on with a bent spare key that will soon break too.

Replace old, thin keys. Look after stiff cylinders or have them changed. Never force a key.
