How to remove a broken key from the lock: 5 tips to avoid having to take everything apart

Second tip:
You’ll need needle-nose pliers or very fine-tipped scissors. Lubricate the area around the key, then grasp the end of the key sticking out of the lock with pliers or scissors.

Try to remove the key very carefully. Do this little by little, without pulling too hard: you risk pushing the key further into the lock.

If the key broke in the lock but the door remained open, you can try one of the following tips.

First tip
If the key is stuck with the door open, look for keys with very thin tips and from the opposite side (i.e. inside the house) insert one of the tips of the scissors until it comes into contact with the key.

Push inward to help the key come out completely. If you can’t get it all the way out, you can use pliers to help pull it out completely.

Second trick
The trick is similar to the previous one, but instead of using scissors, we will use another key.

Inserting it into the internal lock will push the stuck key out.

Third tip

It was trending on social media precisely because it was so effective. The key should be in an upright position. Heat a piece of silicone with a lighter until it melts. Immediately place the detached silicone on the lock, where the stuck key is.

Press firmly for one minute, until the silicone cools. Then pull the silicone back to help the key come out. Do not pull too hard to avoid cracking the silicone.
