Key Extraction

Car key extraction is used when your key has become stuck or broken in one of the locks to the car. This could be in a door or ignition, but regardless of the placement it is best for the car that the key is removed promptly. In the case of a key stuck in the ignition your battery may drain causing further hassle and repair. To get the key out the Oliphant Lock & Safe service technician will begin by applying lubricant to the lock. The tool used for this job is simply called a broken key extractor and functions with ease when used by an experienced locksmith. The tool is lined up along the flat edge of the lock as if an additional key was being used. Once the tool is flush against the broken key, the locksmith will hook the key without pushing the broken metal farther into the lock. Once the broken key is hooked, it is simply slid out from the lock. The probe method might also be used depending on the situation. This method uses two metal locksmith tools to grip the key and pull it free. Oliphant Lock & Safe can also make a new vehicle key (process described above) if this is the only key or a duplicate is desired.

Transponder Key

There is no better way to be protected than to have extra keys made by a professional car locksmith. Rather than waiting to lose your keys, you should get a new one made even if you still have a spare. This will save you more time than doing it during an emergency.

Preparedness is security, so always fight to be prepared for what the world may throw at you. At Oliphant Lock & Safe, we can create spare keys for you, whether it’s an ordinary one or a transponder.
