How to Quickly Unlock a Stuck Door Lock?

Practical unlocking techniques for stuck door locks: A quick self-rescue guide

A stuck door lock (whether due to aging, corrosion, or accidental operation) is an anxiety-inducing situation. Ningbo Jinta specializes in the production of various door locks and accessories, offering the following efficient unlocking solutions:

1. Tapping and loosening key parts

Tap the lock body: Insert the key into the lock cylinder and stop turning it where you feel it's stuck. Then, gently tap around the lock with your palm or the rubber handle of a screwdriver (or the key itself). This slight vibration can sometimes loosen the stuck parts.

Key tapping: If the key itself is stuck in the lock cylinder, try gently tapping the key handle (do not use excessive force to avoid breaking it) to create a slight vibration that helps unlock it.

2. Using spare keys and master keys

Spare key: Try using a spare key. Due to differences in key wear, sometimes the angle or wear of a spare key is more suitable for unlocking stuck situations.

Master Key: If possible, try using a master key or professional tools to fine-tune the lock cylinder, adjusting any minor jamming.

3. Remote Unlocking and Emergency Tools

Remote Unlocking: For electronic locks, verify that the remote control is working properly. Modern locks (such as those manufactured by Ningbo Jinta) are usually equipped with remote unlocking functionality; using the remote control may bypass physical jamming.

Wrench Assistance: In an emergency, try using a small wrench or pliers to gently pull the door handle or lock cover, combined with turning the key to unlock.
