Key Stuck in Lock Help in Houghton-le-Spring

A key can get stuck because of a worn cylinder, damaged key, faulty mechanism, door alignment problem or pressure on the lock. We attend key stuck in lock jobs across Houghton-le-Spring, Hetton-le-Hole, Newbottle, Shiney Row, Fence Houses, Penshaw, Philadelphia and nearby areas.

Common Key Stuck Problems

  • Key stuck in uPVC door lock
  • Key stuck after locking the door
  • Key stuck after unlocking the door
  • Faulty euro cylinder
  • Door mechanism putting pressure on the lock

Fixing the Cause of the Problem

Removing the key is only part of the job. We also check whether the cylinder, gearbox, handle or door alignment caused the issue so the same problem does not keep happening.

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
