Reasons Why My Key Broke off In Lock

One of the most common issues is a key broke off in lock. This can happen for a range of reasons, including:

Damage to the lock due to general wear and tear, resulting in a problematic grip on the key. If you’re noticing your lock is starting to stick, you can address this by spraying a little lubricant into the lock. You shouldn’t use WD40, as it will remove existing lubricant in the cylinder, and encourage greater sticking over time. Opt for a non-solvent-based lubricant instead.
Damage or twisting to the key – this can happen after a key has been put into the wrong lock. You shouldn’t try to force the key back into place as it may snap entirely. A key that’s been badly cut in the first place might be causing the issue – you can test this with a spare if you have one on hand. In both these instances, it may be best to get a new key cut.
A frozen internal mechanism, causes resistance. If cold weather has caused the internal mechanism to freeze, you can remedy this by spraying a de-icer into the lock, using a hairdryer or simply your hot breath, or heating up your key with a cigarette lighter. Don’t pour boiling water into the lock, as it will simply freeze up again once cooled.

What should I do if my key broke off in lock?

When you have a problem with your lock or a broken key inside the lock, the best way to deal with it is by calling an expert. Anyway, you can try some tricks by yourself, if you really wish so. For example, if you can get a grip on the snapped end of the key, you can try spraying a non-solvent-based lubricant into the lock and attempt to slide it out that way.

Of course, this doesn’t guarantee that you can get a broken key out of the lock. More than that, forcing it out by other means might result in the key becoming more embedded into the lock. In these instances, it might be best to contact a local locksmith that can attempt professional lock picking. Remove the broken key with Chelsea Locksmith London, a service available 24 hours.
