Professional equipment & materials we use

The right tools make the difference between a smooth extraction and a damaged lock cylinder. Charles Broken Key Extraction Orlando uses a key cutting machine to produce precise duplicates from original keys or blanks. A pinning kit allows for rekeying locks to match a single key, whether for a simple Kwikset deadbolt or a complex Medeco core. Lock pick sets, tension wrenches, and plug spinners help open locked doors without force. For broken keys, a key extractor is the primary tool, often combined with a bore scope to see inside the cylinder. Electric pick guns speed up certain openers, while a locksmith decoder can read worn wafers. A drill guide ensures that if drilling is needed, it is done accurately. The materials used include key blanks for every brand serviced, pins, springs, cylinders, lock bodies, deadbolts, mortise locks, padlocks, cam locks, and mailbox locks. All products are sourced from reputable manufacturers.
