What NOT to Do with a Broken Key
Avoid these common mistakes that can make the situation worse
Don’t Use Pliers
Gripping with pliers can push the key deeper into the lock or damage the delicate lock mechanism.
Don’t Force It
Forcing or pushing the broken key will likely push it deeper and could damage the lock beyond repair.
Don’t Use DIY Tools
Paperclips, needles, or screwdrivers can damage the lock pins and make professional extraction impossible.
Don’t Apply Heat/Oil
WD-40 or heat can damage modern lock mechanisms and make the key fragments harder to extract.
