A key snapping in your front door lock is stressful: but try not to panic. The safest next step is to stop and avoid making the situation worse.
✅ Don’t push the broken piece further inside
✅ Avoid glue or sharp objects
✅ Don’t force the handle or lock
✅ Keep the door still and call a professional
Forcing the broken key, using glue or poking with sharp objects can damage the lock and make removal more difficult. Avoid repeatedly turning the key or forcing the handle too.
