We’ve all been there—standing outside, locked out of our property because a key broke in lock and you’re unsure how to proceed. While this may seem like a major inconvenience, it’s important to know that it’s not always necessary to call a locksmith right away. With the right approach, you can remove a broken key from a lock without causing any further damage. Several methods can help you safely extract a broken key. For example, using a pair of fine-tipped pliers or a specialized broken key extractor tool can help you get a solid grip on the remaining piece of the key and pull it out. Additionally, applying lubricant to the lock may make the process smoother, especially if the broken key is stuck tightly. It’s important to stay calm and proceed slowly, as rushing the process can result in damage to your lock. In some cases, if you’re unable to retrieve the key yourself, a professional locksmith can handle the job and ensure that your lock is still in working condition.
