Key Stuck In Lock? Try This Easy Solution!

One of the most common searches online in regards to locksmithing and security is "key stuck in lock". Today, Uriah of Guardian Safe & Lock wanted to go over the easy solution to this problem.
When you pull your key from the door's lock and it doesn't budge, you're right to feel worried. After all, this means you either cannot lock or unlock your door without leaving the key behind. This essentially makes it a thumb turn. With homes and businesses, this can get people into a bind as they can't leave while maintaining the security of their building.
However, this problem has a surprisingly easy solution.
This "stuck key" problem tends to happen due to an improperly installed lock cylinder, and the key can be removed from the lock without needing specialty tools in a surprisingly quick motion.

[@amatodellavechia6859]

So cool...worked great..I thank you sir...

[@jbailey4317]

This is the same solution everyone one is saying.....it's not working. Tried it with the knob in the door, out of the door, with the key at EVERY angle....it's still stick.

[@GuardianSafeAndLock]

@@jbailey4317 then it’s something more serious than a loose tailpiece, take it to a locksmith.

[@Percent-fn1mo]

WOW! We've been living in our house for 6+ years and always dealt with a key stuck in one of our doors. Watching this video and in two seconds the key was out. Genius. THANK YOU.

[@theintroverse3494]

My parents were at this parent orientation and they left me with the key (I was at a friend’s house), and I had a mental breakdown that my key was gunna stay stuck and that i would have to wait for 2 hours and finally it came out because I tried this technique thank you so much

[@patrickvale196]

Away on holidays and couldn't get the key out at the holiday house to go out... or close the door properly with the screen hitting the key! Saved the day, thank you!!!

[@alexefredericmigneault5698]

Key got stuck in freezing temperature. Googled the problem and found your video immediately. In 2 minutes, I was back inside with the damn thing. Thank you so much!!

I would just like to point out.. I’m here at work and I got a key stuck in the managers office because I used the wrong one and it could’ve been a huge problem lol. I had a moment of stress because my boss was already having a bad day... but this video just saved my butt lol. Thank you so much

[@micknevze1987]

This really works... thanks... I got my first door in front of my house is metal. When is cold my key get stuck... but today it came out easy . Thanks again... life saver 😌

[@eugenestanton4023]

Outstanding Guardian Safe & Lock! Thanks for this video. My neighbors had this exact problem and of course me being the technical guru that I am went to KZbin for the solution. Showed my neighbors the video and it worked like a charm. One little note: Don't try to pull the key out with pliers or any other tools because you can damage the cylinder and the technique won't work as shown in the video and you will really need to call a 24/7 lock smith and pay out your pocket if you live in a house or have a business. In our case we live in a high rise complex and we have maintenance/repair personnel that can stop by in the morning and fix the the lock, however my neighbors issue happened at night and I was leaving my apartment to go to the store and they stopped me for assistance. I was happy to help with the assistance of this video you guys made. Now, if we didn't resolved this issue my neighbors would of broke the key off and contact maintenance in the morning. Saved us time and frustration! I contacted my neighbors in the morning informed them to watch the video in it's entirety and to request maintenance to repair lock to avoid any future issues. Thanks for SHARING, because sharing is caring!! 😁👌🏿👍🏿

[@xmafaldax]

Oh my god, thank you so much. I moved to my current house 6 years ago and there was this door with a key stuck to it, I finally took it out and they key is intact! ♥️♥️♥️

[@aprilm9551]

Thank you!! I had accidentally inserted the WRONG key into a door lock (and this incorrect key happened to go all the way in) and could not get it out. With this simple technique it came right out, whew, what a relief! The correct key comes out just fine, but the lock would not let go of the wrong key that was stuck, until I pressed on the cylinder.

[@sparky-281]

I was just kicking my door out of frustration, neighbours even came out to see what the commotion was. I was just about to phone a locksmith but looked here first got my key out first try 😃 Thank you.

OMG!!! This worked!!! My husband’s key was stuck in the main entrance door and he couldn’t get into our apartment. I could buzz him in but he couldn’t just leave the key stuck in the door. So he kept tugging at it for almost 30 minutes. I decided to google how to remove a key stuck in the door. In 10 seconds I found your video and was able to help my frustrated and upset husband in 5! Haha thanks so much for your help🙏🏾🙏🏾

[@catherinemorgan5452]

Omg you have saved me so many times now 😂 every time it gets stuck I come back to watch this video and it works every time so this time I wanted to say thank you !!!!

[@GuardianSafeAndLock]

Lol glad we could help.... just keep in mind, this will continue to get worse unless a locksmith comes out to either tighten the tailpiece or fix whatever else may be wrong. Just want to give you a heads up so one day the lock doesn’t fall out in your hand. Good luck!
