Luckily here comes the old blacksmith trick.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">How to solve the difficult problem of a&nbsp;&nbsp;<strong>broken key<\/strong>&nbsp;&nbsp;inside the lock. Doing it can be really difficult, but with this simple guide that we offer you you will do it in a few minutes. You need to have the right tools and a little patience to save your lock.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Key, can break and get stuck<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Sometimes it happens that the keys break and get stuck inside the&nbsp;&nbsp;<strong>lock<\/strong>&nbsp;&nbsp;of our house. This is an accident that can happen, especially if the wrench is too old or thin or if you applied too much force. Sometimes it happens even if there doesn&#8217;t seem to be a reason for it. If the key breaks it doesn&#8217;t do anything to us, if on the other hand it gets stuck it can be a problem.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Therefore, today we are going to explain how&nbsp;&nbsp;<strong>to remove broken keys<\/strong>&nbsp;&nbsp;, in case they get stuck inside the lock. First of all, you should know that the first thing you have to do as soon as you realize that a key is stuck inside the lock is to return the cylinder to a certain position.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image\" id=\"attachment_33337\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/imilanesi.nanopress.it\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/03\/Chiave-davanti-a-una-scatola.jpg\" alt=\"Key in front of a box\" class=\"wp-image-33337\" title=\"Key in front of a box\"\/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">You must decide whether to return the&nbsp;&nbsp;<strong>cylinder<\/strong>&nbsp;&nbsp;to the open or closed position. Only in this way can you start extracting the key. To return the cylinder to its position, you can use a screwdriver, needle nose pliers, or even scissors.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">You can now continue with the&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;lock&nbsp;<strong>lubrication<\/strong>&nbsp;phase. Get some oil and spray it into the cylinder. This will reduce friction and allow the key to be removed more easily.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">How to remove broken key from lock<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">At this point you can start trying to&nbsp;&nbsp;<strong>extract<\/strong>&nbsp;&nbsp;the key from the cylinder, using the pliers. If the key won&#8217;t come off, try loosening it with a chisel. If you haven&#8217;t gotten it yet, get a magnet. You can also buy it at a hardware store.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">If this solution didn&#8217;t work either, you can go straight and buy a&nbsp;&nbsp;<strong>kit<\/strong>&nbsp;&nbsp;designed to remove broken keys. It is a kit that has various tools designed precisely with the objective of extracting the key. Locksmiths usually use one of these kits. You can buy it online or at a hardware store.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image\" id=\"attachment_33338\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/imilanesi.nanopress.it\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/03\/rimuovere-la-chiave-rotta-dalla-serratura.jpg\" alt=\"Remove the broken key from the lock.\" class=\"wp-image-33338\" title=\"Remove the broken key from the lock.\"\/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">We are sure that by now you have already managed&nbsp;&nbsp;<strong>to get the key out of your lock<\/strong>&nbsp;&nbsp;. A common mistake is throwing away the&nbsp;&nbsp;key&nbsp;&nbsp;. Don&#8217;t do this, especially if you don&#8217;t have other keys. Even if it is broken, in fact, its blacksmith can restore it to shape to make one or more copies.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Many people, who have unfortunately broken a key, which has gotten stuck inside the lock, have thought about&nbsp;&nbsp;<strong>changing the lock directly<\/strong>&nbsp;&nbsp;. Actually this is not the case at all: we should not go that far! We can stop early and take out the key, even if we are not in business. If we really can&#8217;t do it, let&#8217;s contact our locksmith who will have some useful tips that will make our job easier.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Removing the broken key from the lock may be more difficult than expected.
