FIVE common reasons why a key gets stuck in a lock

It has long been noticed: troubles always happen at the most inopportune moment. Tell me, haven't you found yourself in a situation where you rush to an important meeting, and everything starts to act against you? So, you run out into the entrance, slam the front door, hastily insert the key into the hole and then... it gets jammed or (even worse!) The key in the lock is broken.

Nothing in mechanisms just happens. This means that the matter is not in fatal circumstances and not in the notorious "law of meanness."

And what then? Below are the top 5 reasons why your key is stuck in the lock.

REASON 1. Constipation should be changed once every five years. Even if reliable and expensive brands CISA, EVVA, Mul-t-lock, Mottura, Securemme and Guardian are embedded in the entrance metal door, this does not change the rules. For five years of active operation, the parts wear out, the risk of breakage increases. Again, the ingress of moisture and dirt affects the parts of the mechanism.

REASON 2. An attempt was discovered to break the lock. The thieves could not get into the apartment, so the owner of the real estate is satisfied, they say, a good company has protected my property. And... continues to operate the mechanism. Remember the golden rule: "After a burglary attempt, be sure to change the lock (or at least change the larva)." Why? The fact is that any penetration into the "inner world" of the castle violates its mechanics. Hmm, then don't be surprised that the key in the lock is broken.

REASON 3. You felt that the mechanism began to turn with an effort. On the advice of your friends, you purchased the famous WD-40 splash cup in the utility store. Then the lock was “lubricated” through the well and the problem temporarily disappeared. Here, the key word is "temporarily". The problem has not gone anywhere! And now it's only a matter of time before the key gets stuck in the lock of the front door.

REASON 4. Careless handling of keys. Have you noticed how some of your friends open a bottle of beer with the apartment key? Or are they trying to tighten a protruding screw? So, here are the potential clients of the door opening workshop. Sooner or later, the geometry of the "pseudo-opener" will be broken and oops! key stuck in the lock of a metal door.

REASON 5. Shrinkage of the frame or skewed door leaf. Usually, this process is slow and the owner of the apartment does not pay attention to it. However, the time comes and the lock jams, which can also lead to a key breakage.
