Many times, the reason why the key won’t turn in the lock is simple to fix when you have the right skills, experience and tools.

So, if your key won’t turn in lock, call a locksmith and we’ll sort it out.
We help homeowners stuck outside and can’t get back in, tenants with the right key but the lock cylinder won’t turn, and small businesses with locking issues.

There are many scenarios that we can assist with in London when your lock won’t turn, so if you’re experiencing any of the following, reach out to us today.
A stiff lock can be the fault of dirt inside or a sign that the cylinder is failing.
The screws holding everything in place may be loose, and the issue can continue to deteriorate if not fixed.
If you have a Euro cylinder lock that is not turning at all, the gearbox inside may be completely seized or worn out.
To fix a jammed Euro cylinder lock, we are careful to spray the inside with lubricant or take the hardware apart.
Being locked in or out of your house is not the ideal position to be in. When you can’t secure your house because you can’t turn the key, the lock may need to be fully replaced.
We’re here 24/7 as an emergency locksmith in London for lockouts.
Whether it’s just a case of dust and debris in the lock, or pins that have failed, we can assist.
The centre plug might not be properly aligned in the cylinder of uPVC doors, timber doors can swell, and multipoint locking mechanisms in composite doors can get worn down.
If you’ve tried to secure your door but the key has snapped, bent or got stuck, then it poses a security risk.
To fix the issue, we can insert a key extractor tool and pull it out, and replace the broken key. To secure the lock again if the key is worn out, we can cut a new key, which should provide an immediate fix.

diagnosing issues with the lock cylinder and mechanism
performing key extraction if it’s stuck inside the lock or broken

We don’t advise that you try to fix the lock yourself or insert anything into the cylinder mechanism, as you might damage the internal pins.
Using the wrong key or having a poorly cut key are the main reasons it won’t work in the lock, and this is because the key cannot turn the pins properly.
When you can’t insert and turn the key, the lock simply won’t open.
Some people damage the lock even further by twisting, pulling, and pushing the key.
Moreover, we advise against this as you could damage the lock, or cause the key to snap inside the lock.
Get in touch with Londoner Locksmith and we’ll assist you in about 15 – 30 minutes.
Our locksmiths have key extraction tools to remove any broken keys, and if the lock is damaged beyond repair, we can fit a new lock and strike plate.

We can also lubricate seized locks with graphite spray so the key will turn in lock mechanism again.
You can use needle-nose pliers to remove a broken key from the Euro cylinder, but don’t try using the key in hot water method if the temperature is below freezing.
