Remain Calm
As challenging as it may seem, staying calm is essential. Panicking can lead to hasty decisions that may worsen the situation. Before attempting anything, take a moment to assess the condition of the key and the lock. Is the key partially or fully stuck in the lock? Are there any sharp edges or protrusions that could cause injury? Understanding the situation will help you determine the best course of action.
Don't force it
Lots of people tell us they do this or the evidence is in the key itself. Attempting to force the broken key out of the lock can cause further damage to both the key and the lock mechanism. Avoid using excessive force or tools that could potentially worsen the situation. Instead, proceed cautiously to prevent any further complications.
