How to remove a broken key from a lock

How can we prevent this from happening again?

Prevention is better than cure. To avoid reliving this scenario, a few simple gestures can make all the difference:

• Lubricate the lock regularly with a suitable spray (avoid the conventional oil that can clog the mechanism).
• Check the status of your keys: a worn or twisted key may break more easily.
• Protect your locks from temperature variations that may impair their proper functioning.

Proper maintenance of the locks makes it possible to avoid inconvenience. And if your key breaks again, you will now have the right reflexes to recover it without stress.
