Popularity: This method has garnered attention on social media for its efficacy.
Procedure: The broken key must be upright. Lightly heat a silicone piece with a lighter to melt it. Swiftly press the molten silicone against the lock, covering the lodged key. Hold firmly for a minute until the silicone solidifies. Gently pull back on the silicone; the key should follow. Be gentle to avoid breaking the silicone.
While these strategies may work in many scenarios, always remember that if you’re unsure or if the key remains stubbornly stuck, consulting a locksmith is the safest route to ensure no further damage is done.
