- The magnet
If your key is made of ferrous metal (like most conventional keys), a strong magnet may be enough to pull it out of the lock. Add a little lubricant to make it easier to extract and try to gently pull the key with the magnet.
- Tweezers or fine tweezers
If a piece of the key is sticking out slightly, try grabbing it with tweezers , needle-nose pliers , or even fine-tipped scissors . Add a little lubricant to make it slide in more easily, and pull gently to prevent it from getting stuck further.
Broken key with the door open: a simpler solution
If the door is open , retrieving the key piece is often easier . Here are some handy tips:
- With fine-tipped scissors
Gently insert the scissors into the lock to push the broken key outward . Once it starts to come out, use pliers to remove it completely.
- With another key
If the broken key is not completely stuck , you can try inserting another key of the same model into the lock and gently pushing to remove the stuck piece.
