Common Snapped Key in Lock Problems We Help With
Send a photo of the lock on WhatsApp, and keep the broken part of the key if you have it. It helps us judge whether the key can be removed and whether the cylinder is likely to need replacing before attending.
Why Keys Snap in a Lock
Keys almost always snap at their weakest point, near the shoulder where the metal is thinnest. This is more likely with an older or worn key, or when extra force has been used to turn a lock that was already stiff or partly seized — the key gives way before the lock does.
Removing the broken piece is usually possible with the right extraction tools without needing to drill the lock out. Once it is out, it is worth checking why the lock was stiff enough to snap the key in the first place, so the same thing does not happen again with the next key.
