There are various reasons why keys can break inside a door lock and a locksmith will be able to explain and assess the situation. The most frequent reason is wear and tear. For sure, locks and keys used frequently over time are most likely to break. After using them every day, this process can cause metal fatigue and a key broke would not be a rare occurrence.

A broken key can also be caused by using the incorrect key, exerting excessive force, or running into a misaligned lock mechanism. Extreme cold and other environmental conditions can cause keys to become more brittle, which increases the risk of breakage.

We would advise you not to try to remove the broken key by yourself, especially if you have no experience. Professional locksmiths will help you with your broken part and will prevent broken keys from ruining your lock cylinder when possible.

But, if you decide to remove the broken key from a lock yourself, you can try a key extractor or a method that involves using super glue. Be careful, this requires caution and you have to know how to proceed

First, carefully insert a small amount of super glue on the end of a thin object, such as a matchstick or toothpick. Then, gently place it against the exposed part of the broken key inside the lock. Allow the glue to set, and then slowly pull the object back, hoping it will adhere to the broken key fragment and extract it. This method should be attempted with great care to avoid further damaging the lock.

Maintenance is always a good idea and you can avoid having a stuck key from a lock by trying to maintain your locks and keys regularly. So, keep your locks functioning smoothly and try to ask a locksmith to help you lubricate them. Most likely, he will help you with a lubricant containing graphite.

If you decide to do this yourself, try and avoid oil-based lubricants. These should not be used because they can draw in dust and debris and cause jams and more wear and tear. Look for any wear or damage on your keys and replace them if needed.

You can try and prevent broken keys from breaking by making sure you use only the appropriate keys for each lock at all times. For example, a lock may break if the wrong key is forced into it.

Also, try and use even, light pressure when inserting or rotating a key. Refrain from applying too much force, and gently pull the key when something is not right. Particularly, stop using your key if the lock is not turning smoothly. If resistance is encountered, halt, evaluate the situation, or contact a qualified locksmith.
