Broken Heart?❎ Broken Keys?✅

 Valentine’s Day not go as planned? 

Unfortunately, we can’t help with a broken heart, but we can help with broken keys!

 

A broken key extractor fits into the lock core and essentially grabs the broken piece of the key. When the broken key extractor is pulled from the lock core, it removes the piece of the key, leaving the lock usable. There are multiple types of broken key extractors available. To find the correct option for you, see below (no swiping required! 😉 ).

 

If there is space around the cut side of the broken key:

Pick the Saw Blade Style.

The saw blade works by gripping the cuts of the key. Insert the extractor with the saw blade facing the side of the cut key. Apply a little pressure onto the cut side of the key while pulling the extractor out of the core.

 

If there is no space around the cut side of the broken key:

Pick the Spiral Style.

While inserting the extractor on either side of the key, twist or spin the extractor to the right. Continue twisting while pulling the extractor out of the core.

 

Another available option is the Hook Style.

This extractor has a small hook on the end and is made of steel.

 

EasyKeys.com also offers an interchangeable extractor set which covers it all! The HPC Interchangeable Extractor Set is the most popular on the market. It is compact, which allows you to carry a variety of extractors inside one tiny set. The set includes 4 extractor blades (1 saw blade, 3 spiral blades of various sizes) stored inside a hollow handle. Replacement blades are also available if you happen to misplace one.

 

Don’t forget to order a replacement for the broken key!

Keys Aren’t Working? Don’t Worry, Try This Trick!

We know it can be frustrating when a new purchase isn’t working! 
That’s why we are always here to help.
 
If the key fits into your lock, and the lock code matches the code on the key, try using a lubricant like WD-40 or some of our handy graphite lubricant in the lock.
 
Since our keys are brand new, they have not had the chance to be worn in with the lock. The new keys can be a bit rigid, and lubricant typically does the trick.  Just spray the lubricant in the lock, move the key back and forth a few times, and you should be all set!
 
If you have a particularly stubborn key, just email a photo of the key we sent and the lock face to info@easykeys.com. One of our experts will figure out exactly what is going on and work to find a resolution.
