How to get a broken key out of a lock!
In daily life, we sometimes encounter the embarrassing situation that the key is broken in the lock hole. This not only affects the use of the door, but may also cause certain safety hazards. This article will give you a detailed introduction to how to skillfully remove the key that is broken in the lock hole, so that you can easily solve this dilemma.
1. Tool preparation**
Before doing anything, first prepare some necessary tools, including: screwdrivers, small hammers, pliers, thin wires, etc. These tools are more common in everyday life and can be easily found.
2. Preliminary Inspection**
First of all, we need to do a preliminary inspection of the key in the keyhole. Observe whether the broken key part is loose, and if the looseness is obvious, you can directly pull it out with pliers. If the broken key part is tightly bonded to the keyhole, further treatment is required.
3. Skillful use of iron wire**
We can bend one end of the thin wire into the shape of a hook, try to hook the tail of the broken key with the hook, gently rotate the wire, and use the force of rotation to bring the broken key out of the lock hole. Be patient and gentle during the operation to avoid further damage to the keyhole.
4. Vibration and percussion**
For some types of locks, we can loosen the broken key by knocking or vibrating. You can use a small hammer to gently tap both sides of the broken key and shake it out. However, it should be noted that this method may have a certain impact on the structure of the lock, so special care should be taken when using it.
5. Professional handling**
If none of the above methods are successful in removing the broken key, then you may need to seek a professional lock picking service. Some professional lock pickers have a wealth of experience and skills and are able to handle a variety of complex lock problems. They usually use professional tools and methods to ensure the integrity and security of the locks. When seeking professional lockpicking services, it is recommended that you choose a qualified and reputable lockpicking company or individual to protect your rights and safety.
