Broken Key Removed & Lock Replaced in Bushmills | Lighthouse Locksmiths

A homeowner in Bushmills recently contacted Lighthouse Locksmiths after the key to their UPVC front door snapped inside the lock, leaving part of the key lodged deep within the euro cylinder. With the broken key preventing the lock from operating normally, the door could no longer be used safely.

Using specialist locksmith equipment, the broken section of the key was carefully removed before access to the property was regained. Once the door was open, it was clear that replacing the existing euro cylinder was the most reliable long-term solution.

A new, correctly sized euro cylinder was fitted and supplied with a full set of new keys, leaving the customer with a lock that operated smoothly and restored the security of their front door.

Broken keys are a surprisingly common problem, particularly on older locks or keys that have seen years of daily use. In many cases, the lock can be opened and repaired without replacing the entire door or locking mechanism.
