Key snapped in the lock? Extracted, then replaced.
A key that has snapped in the ignition or door lock is a bad moment, but it rarely means a new barrel. We extract the broken section with proper extraction tooling, check the lock for wear that caused the break in the first place, and cut you a fresh key so you drive away the same visit.
