Stuck Keys From Our Job Records
If a key will not turn or come out, stop pulling on it: forcing it can snap the key inside the lock. We try non-destructive methods first. If the key cannot be freed, the cylinder is replaced, so you are left with a lock that works and keys that fit.
- Key stuck and the lock jammed — Shiney Row. The key was stuck and the lock totally jammed, so a new lock was fitted. See the job
- Key stuck in a composite front door — Chilton Moor. Several non-destructive methods were tried first; in the end the lock had to be snapped out and replaced. See the job
- Key stuck after a police lock change — Pallion, Sunderland. The lock was so jammed that the handles had to be drilled off to get it open; the cylinder and handle were then replaced. See the job
