How to Deal with a Broken Key Inside the Lock
It’s a frustrating scenario: you insert your key, try to turn it—and it snaps. Half the key is now stuck inside your door, car ignition, or office lock. This situation is more common than you think, especially with worn-out keys or old locks.
But don’t panic. At Dubai Locksmith, we specialize in broken key extraction and offer quick, safe solutions across the city.
Here’s what you should do if a key breaks inside your lock:
🔍 1. Don’t Try to Force It
One of the biggest mistakes is trying to pull the key out with pliers or push the remaining piece further in. This can damage the lock cylinder or jam the key deeper, making the problem worse—and more expensive to fix.
🧰 2. Call a Professional Locksmith
A trained locksmith can extract the broken piece using special tools like key extractors, tweezers, and lubricants without damaging your lock. At Dubai Locksmith, we respond 24/7 and can usually remove the broken key on the spot.

🛠️ 3. Consider Rekeying or Replacing the Lock
Once the key is removed, we can assess the lock’s condition:
-
Rekeying is ideal if the lock is in good shape and you want to change keys for security.
-
Replacing is recommended if the lock is old, rusted, or damaged during the break.
🔑 4. Get a New Key or Spare Key Cut
If the broken key was your only one, we can duplicate a new key based on the lock or the broken pieces. It's also a great time to request spare keys to avoid future issues.
