Locksmith Vaughan Sticking Key Service

There are a couple of things you can try to stop a key from sticking in a lock, but if you try both methods and are not successful, it’s time to get a new key cut. If a new key sticks in the lock too, it’s time to replace the lock. DIY methods of preventing a sticky key:

Pencil: Pencils are made from graphite, which has a slightly waxy texture. Rubbing the entire surface of your key with a soft pencil will leave a very slight coating of graphite on the key. This can act as a lubricant, helping your key to turn more easily in the lock.

WD40 or other lubricant: WD40 is a very effective lubricant but should not be used repeatedly as its petroleum base can attract dust particles to the lock mechanism. It is possible to purchase lubricants especially designed for locks. These are effective, but as previously stated, should not be used repeatedly as they can clog up the lock.

Calling our locksmith: If you have bought a new key and it is still sticking, or if you have several keys and they all have the same problem, you will probably need a new lock. Installing a new lock is straightforward and not as expensive as you may think. If you continue to struggle on with a sticking key, you are very likely to end up being locked out, as the key will eventually either stick, break off completely, or simply fail to open the lock.

If you do find yourself locked out, call Locksmith Vaughan for advice on what to do, or call us to help.
