Broken key extractor set

Product Information

There are two ways to use a paperclip to extract a broken key. In my experience, thinner paperclips tend to work better and give you a deeper grip on the key. Don’t push it too far, just enough that the pressure is applied firmly, and pulling the key out becomes easy. When nothing else is working, a magnet can be used to remove metal from any surface. It is a useful tool in many different situations and it is always on hand. To start, take your knife and poke it into the side of the key—like in the image above. Apply some force to stab the key as much as possible, and be very careful not to slip and annihilate yourself. Another tool you can use when your key breaks is a pair of needle-nose pliers. You should use this method, especially if your key broke, leaving only the bow in your hand. There should be part of the broken key protruding out of the keyhole for this method to succeed.

The main challenge with graphite spray lubricant is that it can stain your surfaces. So, you'll want to ensure the nozzle is in the keyway before you spray the lubricant to avoid getting it all over the door. You should also have a rag or paper towel at hand to wipe off the excess lubricant that will spill from the keyway. Make sure that you don’t push the key in too much. If it doesn’t get out by prodding a little, use one of the 6 ways that we’ll be discussing, as pushing the key too much would do more harm than you are good. The first method is to slip your paperclip under the bottom of the broken piece and then push it downwards to leverage it into the key. Yanking on a snagged key could result in further damage or broken pieces. If the key is jammed up, you can attempt to free it by gently wiggling it or turning it in both directions.Push it in as far as possible and then bend the tool into the key so that the threads dig into the key.

This method is a little more difficult, as you’d be required to have a tool called a broken key extractor to carry it out.

You'll need to dig the knife into the sides of the broken key while pulling it out. It won't work instantly, but if you give it several tries, you'll notice the key coming out. You can even use two knives on each side of the key, but you should be careful not to cut yourself. 12. Drill Bit For any of the methods below, you'll want to reduce as much friction as possible. While this step isn't necessary, it can help significantly. Some extracting tools—such as HPC spiral blade key extractors—use a thin, flexible bar with a spiraled thread on it—similar to a screw. All metallic objects can be magnetized. When a magnet is brought closer to a metal object, it takes on the magnetic field and the object becomes attracted to it. ( 2)
