How to Remove a Key That Has Broken in the Lock: 5 Tricks to Avoid Dismantling Everything (Page 2 ) | February 10, 2025

Try to pull the key out, being very careful. Do this little by little, without pulling forcefully: you run the risk of inserting the key further into the lock.

If the key broke in the lock, but the door remained open, you can try one of the following tricks .

First trick
If the key is stuck with the door open, look for keys with very thin tips and from the opposite side (i.e. inside the house) insert one of the tips of the scissors until it comes into contact with the key.

Push inward to help the key come out completely. If you can’t get it all out, you can use pliers to help you extract them completely.

Second trick
The trick is similar to the previous one, but instead of using scissors, we will use another key.

By inserting it into the internal lock, it will push the stuck key outwards.

Third trick
It has become popular on social media because it is so effective. The key must be in a vertical position. Heat a piece of silicone with a lighter until it melts. Immediately place the melted silicone on the lock, corresponding to the stuck key.

Apply firm pressure for one minute, until the silicone cools. Then pull back the silicone to help the key come out. Do not pull hard, as this may cause the silicone to break.
