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.

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🙏🏾🙏🏾

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 KZread 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!! 😁👌🏿👍🏿
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 !!!!

It definitely hadn't worked for me. Turns out that the resting position for the key in the lock it was stuck in was horizontal, and I had tried to pull it out vertically. I only figured it out after unscrewing the lock and taking a look at how it operates. Still, the video motivated me to unscrew the lock, thanks!
You are awesome man, worked perfectly.. Thanks a ton
