Nissan Altima Broken Key Extraction – Lilburn, GA

broken car key extraction ignition locksmith automotive Lilburn GA Gwinnett County

A Nissan Altima owner in Lilburn, GA had a key break off inside the ignition while starting the car. The broken piece was lodged deep in the cylinder, making it impossible to start or even remove with standard tools.

Broken key extraction from an ignition is a delicate procedure. Attempting to remove the broken piece with pliers or improvised tools often pushes it deeper into the cylinder, making professional extraction more difficult and expensive.

Our automotive locksmith used specialized extraction tools to carefully remove the broken key fragment from the Nissan Altima ignition without damaging the cylinder. Once extracted, we cut a new key on-site so the customer could drive away.

Keys break in ignitions most often when they are worn down or when the steering wheel is locked and pressure is applied. If your key feels stiff or shows signs of wear, get a duplicate made before it breaks completely.
