When a key breaks inside a lock, it can damage the lock’s mechanism. If you attempt to extract the key from the lock without the right tools, you could end up damaging the lock or your door itself.

What causes a key to break?

A key can break due to multiple reasons. We generally see keys break due to:

1) Presence of ‘weak points’
All keys have structural weak points, like long grooves and other indentations that allow it to fit into a lock’s mechanisms like a puzzle piece and then turn it. After a certain time has passed, the key is prone to snap along these indentations.

2) Use of light-weight materials

If the material that goes into making the key is low-grade, then the key won’t last for very long. Parker Locksmith Store always uses high-grade materials for your keys.  

3) Improperly fitted keys

If you’ve gotten keys made from an inexperienced locksmith, they may not be designed correctly. Such keys could break quicker than normal keys.

4) Accidents and forceful use

If you drop your key on the ground a lot, or if your kids play with it, chances are it will have a short life-span. Forceful use – using too much pressure to turn the key in the lock – may also damage it.
