January 06, 2020 – – Twin Cities automotive locksmith company, The Key Guys, strongly advises against vehicle owners trying to remove a key that has broken off in their automobile’s lock themselves. Those at the company say that their experience tells them that this often makes the situation go from bad to worse. They firmly believe that getting broken off car keys extracted is best done by letting a highly trained automotive locksmith handle that task.
Company CEO, Bryon Nystrom, talked more about this by saying, “Auto and other key manufacturers over the years have made efforts to make car keys lighter because people have to carry around so many different types of keys these days. An unintended drawback of this is that automobile keys have also become weaker and tend to break easier. That also means that now keys tend to bend easier, wear out quicker, and have less resistance to becoming damaged too when they do not go in and out of a vehicle’s lock smoothly. All this has caused a dramatic rise in broken off auto key incidents. We caution against non-professionals trying to remove broken off keys themselves because many times the lock that the broken key fragment is stuck in gets damage during the DIY key removal process.”
Nystrom also said that their locksmiths are so experienced that they consider broken key removal to be a fairly simple and straightforward process. He also estimates that 95% of the time a key gets broken off in an auto lock, it’s not caused by a lock problem but by a problem with the key itself. Nystrom says that when a car owner damages their vehicles lock in an attempt to remove a broken key, many times they have just created a much more complicated and more expensive vehicle lock repair. Nystrom did add that in the event of a worst-case scenario where a car key does need replacing, they still can resolve this for the customer on location. He says the locksmiths at the company are very talented when it comes to doing entire car lock replacements too.
One other big benefit that Nystrom mentioned that people get from having their broken car keys removed by a locksmith like The Key Guys, is that they are a 100% mobile vehicle locksmith services provider. They go right to the location where their customers’ vehicles are garaged, parked or have left the car owner stranded because of the broken key problem. This will save the car owner the added expense of having their automobile towed to a shop to have a broken off key extracted and replaced. Nystrom says that they carry all the necessary equipment on their service vehicles to extract broken keys, make new keys, and even replace entire locks if that becomes necessary.
The company CEO also stated that there really is not much incentive for a person to try and remove a broken key themselves. He says that first and foremost they charge reasonable fees for this service. He also says that auto locksmith service providers like them respond quickly when someone is left stranded because their key has broken off in a car door lock or ignition. These emergency auto locksmith services are also available from The Key Guys around the clock 365-days a year. That includes a customer that has broken off an auto key in a lock late at night, on the weekend or even during the holidays. He also said the company operates a fleet of vehicles that can quickly get to any location in the Twin Cities and the surround ding area to resolve a broken key problem.
Nystrom says that once they have removed a broken key, they also offer a complete line of onsite auto key replacement services. He says they even can make replacements for more difficult to replicate transponder keys. They carry everything necessary in their service vehicles to make just about any type of auto replacement key.
The company CEO said that in addition to broken auto key extraction and key duplication services, The Key Guys also do many other auto locksmith tasks too. These include unlocking car doors, replacing ignition cylinder locks, and completely reprogramming transponder keys.
