Jammed Door Lock

This is perhaps the most common lock problem to troubleshoot: when you can insert the key into the lock, but can’t to get the lock to turn. This frustrating situation can usually be prevented with a bit of preventative maintenance, but is tricky to resolve once it’s jammed. Forcing the key to turn in the lock may only further the damage to the lock mechanism or cause the key to break off.

The lock has likely jammed due to an accumulation of dirt and dust. To resolve the issue, you can try several things. First, spraying compressed air into the key hole should help clear out the debris. Then, lubricate inside the keyhole using a penetrating oil with a spray straw. Don’t use just any oil or lubricant because they can actually pick up dust and grime, making the situation worse.
