Why Choose Us?
Common Causes of Key Breakage
Keys can snap for several reasons, often without warning. Common culprits include:
- Wear and Tear: Over time, the metal of frequently used keys weakens, making them prone to snapping under minimal pressure.
- Excessive Force: Applying too much pressure when turning a stiff or faulty lock can cause a key to twist and break.
- Poor Key Quality: Duplicate keys or those made from inferior materials are inherently weaker.
- Lock Malfunction: A stiff or seized lock mechanism can put undue stress on a key, leading it to break when forced.
It is crucial not to attempt a DIY stuck key removal. Poking at the lock with household items can push the broken fragment further in, potentially damaging the lock mechanism and necessitating a more costly lock repair or replacement. Trust our expert locksmiths for a safe, non-destructive entry solution.
