Have you ever had the experience of unscrewing a key?Whether it's a door lock or other types of locks at home, when we usually use the key a little too hard, it can easily cause the key to break. Although only one key was damaged, the most troublesome thing was the inability to remove the broken part, which was the real problem.
In the past, in the face of this kind of problem, people either used pliers to pick it up, but even if it was clamped for a long time, it was difficult to take out the broken key;Either it is to find the locksmith directly, if it is a lock on the door, the locksmith will disassemble the lock cylinder and take out the key, but it will cost a certain amount of money to ask the master, and if the master is busy, you will need to wait outside the door for a while.
The key unfortunately broke in the lock hole?Don't worry, you don't need to bother to find a master, today I will teach you a simple method, you can easily solve it with just a toothbrush, hurry up and take a look.
Tip 1: After the key is broken, prepare two things first, a lighter and a toothbrush. If outside the house, you can buy both items at a modest cost. Heat a section of the toothbrush with a lighter to allow the gel to soften and melt. When the colloid is half-melted, fasten it into the keyhole and slowly push it towards the palm of your hand.
The colloid is in a semi-melted state, and in the process of pushing, it will approach the broken key. Finally, allow the gel to set and wait two minutes for the gel to cure. The process is not too slow, it only takes about a minute or so.
If you can't get it right, you can gently touch the burned gel and slowly pull it out when it feels a little harder. When pulling out, don't twist it, just pull it gently, and the pieces of the broken key will also be brought out, it's very simple!
Tip 2: Many people carry a gel pen with them, which is very convenient in life. Therefore, we can also borrow the method of toothbrushing and use a gel pen or pencil to operate. First, use a lighter to boil the tip of the pen slightly, and then, use the softer part of the pen to align the keyhole, insert it into it, and hold it for a minute, so that the soft pen can better stick to the key fragment that fell in the keyhole.
At this point, you need to make sure that the stickiness is as good as possible, and don't rush to pull the pen out, but slowly let it melt into the keyhole and squeeze it onto the broken key. Try to make sure that the key section is fully contacted, and then use the stickiness to bring the broken key out. During the whole operation, it should be done gently to avoid using too much force and causing the key fragments to get stuck and cannot be removed. Wait for the colloid to cool completely before extraction.
During the extraction process, you will feel the case move with the key fragments, and when they are visible, you can quickly remove the key. With this clever use of stickiness, you can easily remove the key that is broken inside the keyhole.
Tip 3: We can prepare a kind of super glue to take out the broken key. Take a little glue, glue it to the broken key, and then align the key head to the location of the keyhole, precisely aligning the key head to the broken piece. Next, wait for a while depending on how long the glue you are using will set.
When everything is ready, release the hand that holds the key head, the key head will not fall off, and you can try to pull the key gently. However, it is important to apply even and gentle force so that the key can be removed smoothly.
Normally, after unscrewing the key, you should also check and repair the lock, a good lock should be smooth and easy to operate, if the key is easy to break, it means that there is resistance when rotating, the lock cylinder may be stuck, then it is necessary to add some lubricating oil.
Although the glue removal method is simple and does not require special technique, it requires patience and strength, and finding the right method. If you still can't open the lock, it's too late to find a professional lockpick.
