What to do if you have a broken key in your lock

Breaking a key in a lock is a frustrating experience, but it is certainly not the end of the world. In most cases, it is possible to remove the broken key and continue using the lock. However, if the key is stuck or the lock is damaged, you may need to call a locksmith for assistance.

First, try to insert a flathead screwdriver into the keyway and gently twist. This may be enough to dislodge the broken key. If the screwdriver does not work, you can try using needle-nose pliers or a similar tool. Insert the pliers into the keyway and grip the broken key as close to the base as possible. Gently turn the pliers until the key comes out. If this does not work, you may need to call a locksmith.

The best ways to prevent a key from becoming broken or damaged

A key is an important tool that allows us to enter our homes, businesses, and vehicles. However, keys can become damaged or broken, rendering them useless. There are a few things you can do to help prevent this from happening. First, be sure to store your keys in a safe place where they will not be subject to excessive force or movement. For example, avoid keeping them in your pocket while you are engaged in activities such as running or hiking. Second, inspect your keys regularly for signs of wear and tear, such as bent prongs or chips in the metal. If you notice any damage, take steps to repair or replace the key as soon as possible.
