What causes the key to weaken?
The constant utilization of a key can degrade it over time. This is because most keys are composed of soft metals like brass or nickel silver, which may wear out and become more prone to bending or breaking.
Furthermore, exposure to excessive temperatures or other adverse environmental conditions, such as dampness, can cause the metal to corrode. Finally, keys can become weak owing to unintentional usages, such as using a key as a tool or using too much power to turn a lock. For example, if the key is comprised of soft materials, it is vulnerable to harm from seemingly harmless usage beyond its intended purpose.
Also, if you use your key to open packages or paint jars, the teeth could begin to rust. In certain circumstances, the key may get deformed or otherwise damaged, increasing the likelihood of it breaking off in the lock.
In these cases, anytime your key might get stuck in your lock. We would advise you to try and use keys only if it’s intended. Also, make sure the key it’s kept in smaller pockets inside the bag, so it can not bounce around too much.
What to do when a part of the key fails to protrude from the lock
Of course, using a broken key extractor to extract a broken key from a lock works best if there is some of the key protruding from the keyhole. But if a key is fully stuck inside the door lock, it is very difficult to take it off yourself.
If you have some experience in using tools and DIY projects, you could try and use flathead screws to fit inside the keyhole and do your best to take the key out. You could try pushing the lock until a portion is extruding from the latch. Ideally, the fragment can be removed using needle nose pliers or a firmly held magnetic tool. The tool and the force can cause another lock break in most cases. Therefore, even if you can remove the key yourself, you might not be able to use the lock as usual. The part of the key from inside can cause harm to the lock if you apply too much force.
In case you have this issue it’s better to call a locksmith. you could use an expert locksmith.
