The Common Reasons Why Keys Break, Snap, or Get Stuck in Locks

Keys don’t just break because of any reason. They may have gone through wear and damage before which may create the perfect conditions for them to get jammed within the lock. Knowing the reasons behind key breakage will help you avoid it in the future. Here are some of the major reasons: 

Keys made of weak metals like brass or nickel are usually more prone to breakage. 
If the lock is blocked because of dirt or debris build-up, the key can get stuck easily. 
Keys damaged due to weather or environmental elements can snap more often. 
If you apply too much force while using the key, it can cause chipping or cracking. 
Using your keys for an unintended purpose like opening cans can impair its structure.
A lack of lubrication may create excessive friction which can disfigure the key.

What to Do If a Key Breaks Inside a Residential Lock?

The last thing you’d want to do is panic if you can’t get your key outside of a lock. It can be a frustrating situation, but here’s what you need to do to resolve the issue as quickly as possible: 

First, assess how much of the key is sticking outside of the lock system. 

If you see a small part of the key, you may be able to remove it yourself. 

Avoid using DIY methods like paper clips or needles to remove the key. 

Use a lubricant like WD-40 so that the broken key can come out easily. 

If it still doesn’t work, call a professional locksmith to fix the problem.
