Key Extraction

From the Lightning Lock & Key glossary.

Definition

Removing a snapped key blade from a lock or ignition with purpose-made tools.

Why it matters

Tweezers and glue push blades deeper and ruin cylinders. Professional extraction preserves the lock — then fixing whatever bound the lock keeps the new key whole.
