Snapped a key in the lock or ignition? We remove broken key fragments from any lock across Broward County — 24/7 — without damaging the cylinder. From $35. Available 24/7 across Broward County. Call (954) 475-6978.
Broken Key Extraction in Fort Lauderdale
Keys break when they're worn thin, forced in a hurry, or turned in a stiff, dry lock. When a piece snaps off inside a door lock, padlock, or car ignition, the instinct is to dig it out — but tweezers and glue usually push the fragment deeper or damage the lock, turning a small problem into an expensive one. Be My Locksmith removes the broken piece cleanly with proper extraction tools.
Our technicians carry specialized extractors that grip and withdraw the fragment without harming the cylinder, so in most cases your existing lock is saved. We handle residential deadbolts and knobs, padlocks, mailbox locks, commercial hardware, and vehicle ignitions and door locks across Fort Lauderdale.
Once the fragment is out, we address why the key broke in the first place. If the key was simply worn, we cut you a fresh, accurate replacement on the spot through our key cutting service. If the lock itself is stiff or failing, we can rekey or replace it so it doesn't happen again.
Broken keys have a habit of happening at the worst time — late at night, or when you're already running behind. That's why extraction is part of our 24/7 emergency locksmith service, available across Broward County whenever you need it. If the break happened in your car, our car key replacement team can also cut and program a new key on site.
If you've got a key stuck or snapped in a lock right now, don't force it further — call us. We'll get the piece out, get you a working key, and make sure the lock is in good shape before we leave.

Understanding Fort Lauderdale Pricing
A few variables shape the final price in Fort Lauderdale. We're transparent about every one, and you approve the total upfront.
Time of day
Overnight and weekend calls in Fort Lauderdale carry a modest after-hours addition; daytime is the standard rate.
Type of lockout
A simple home lockout costs less than a business lockout or a car with high-security doors — a common call near Las Olas Boulevard.
Lock complexity
Standard residential locks open quickly; high-security or damaged locks take more time and tools.
Repair or rekey needed
If a lock was forced in a break-in near Las Olas, replacing or rekeying it adds to a simple entry across Fort Lauderdale.
Extra work on site
Cutting a new key, extracting a broken one, or securing multiple doors is quoted before we start.
Smart Tips for Fort Lauderdale
Some practical advice for Fort Lauderdale residents to avoid the next headache.
Don't force the lock
Jamming a card or forcing a stuck lock usually causes damage that turns a $35 lockout into a lock replacement.
Save our number now
Program (954) 475-6978 into your phone before you need it — a locked phone is no help mid-emergency for Fort Lauderdale homes and businesses.
Check for a safe open entry
Only if it's safe and yours — a back door or window latch can save a call.
Keep a spare with someone you trust
A neighbor or relative across Fort Lauderdale beats a key under the mat, which burglars check first — a common call near Las Olas Boulevard.
Ask for the total upfront
A reputable locksmith gives a full price before starting — we always do.
