BEFORE YOU TRY TO REMOVE A BROKEN KEY

You need to know a few things before you try to remove a broken key from a lock. Please read this post first, before you unintentionally jam the key deeper inside your lock. The major idea is to pull a broken key out of a lock cylinder. Therefore, you must find a tool like a needle to insert it behind the broken key.

A broken key in a lock can feel like an emergency scenario. Actually, in most cases, it is an emergency scenario. A key can break off because of a tiny crack, and when you least expected it. It’s important to remember that every scenario of a broken key is slightly different, depending on how much of the key is stuck in the lock. Sometimes, you should be able to pull it out, and sometimes you would need the help of a professional locksmith. There is no exact science to extract a broken key out of a lock! Not only can you use different tools, but you can also use different methods.

DO NOT USE PLIER OR A SCREWDRIVER

If the key shank does not stick a little out of the cylinder of your lock, don’t try to hold a grip with a plier. Using a plier would push them further in. In addition, many people try and use the remaining half of the key in conjunction with the broken half to try and open the lock even after the key breaks.

Be careful! The further you push the broken piece into the lock, the more difficult it will be to remove. In addition, you can also damage the lock. Has your broken key been jammed deeply inside the lock? We recommend to call us for help.
