Keys snap when the lock is dry, misaligned, or worn — or the key has metal fatigue from years of use. After extraction, the locksmith can lubricate or service the cylinder so it doesn't happen again.Can you cut a new key from the broken one?
Yes, in most cases. Once the broken half is extracted, both pieces can be used as a template to cut a new working key on site, provided the bitting is intact.What if it's a UPVC door lock?
Same approach. UPVC multi-point cylinders (Yale, Avocet, etc.) accept the same extraction tools — the locksmith may also test the gearbox while on site to make sure nothing else has been strained.
