4. Lubricate the lock
Spray a little lubricant (like WD-40) on the lock, or, if that doesn’t work, put a drop of cooking oil inside.
This will make the metal slide more easily and reduce the risk of damaging the cylinder.
Once the lock is lubricated, try the previous tips again: the key should come out more easily.
5. Make a DIY lock pick.
If none of these tools work, you can make a small hook with a piece of wire or a paper clip.
Bend the end of the wire to form a small hook, insert it into the lock, and try to hook the broken key to extract it.
When should I call a professional?
If, despite all these methods, the key is stuck or the lock cylinder is damaged, it’s best to contact a qualified locksmith.
This will prevent permanent damage to the lock and a much more expensive repair.
Prevention tip
To prevent the key from being forced again:
Never use a bent or broken key.
Apply a thin layer of grease to the lock twice a year.
Avoid forcing the key if it doesn’t turn easily; this indicates that the mechanism needs maintenance.
With these 5 simple tips, you can solve the problem in seconds without having to disassemble the lock or call an emergency locksmith. A little peace and quiet, a good tool, and the door will open without damage!
