The only way to get locked out is not to leave your keys at home.
When you – and your key – get trapped, try these following tips:
PUSH THE PLUG
Move your key into as far as it goes. Switch the key so that the keyway slot is in the same position in which it was when you inserted the key; this is the appropriate position to match the pin tumblers in the cylinder. Now, using your fingertip of your other hand push firmly to the side of the plug next to the key.
JIGGLE THE KEY
Jiggle the key while softly pushing it outwards. Avoid pulling fast, which only ties the key against the pins in the lock. The up-and-down jiggling motion can free the teeth that are stuck in the pins of the lock so you can pull the key out.APPLY ICE OR A COLD PACK
Applying ice or a cold pack to the lock and key at the door may help make the key easier to remove from the lock. The ice or cold pack contract the metal to make it slightly smaller for the easy removing of the key. Just be careful the ice isn't wetting the key or the lock. In warm weather, the strategy works best.
USE SPRAY LUBRICANT
Most frequently, a key in a door lock gets stuck because the lock is not well lubricated. If you have access to a spray lubricant tube, spray it inside the lock and then try removing the key.
There are many spray lubricants available that becomes a great assistant while trying to extract a key trapped in a lock. Most of the cans come with a tiny straw nozzle to get into spaces that are tight as a keyhole.
If you don't have spray lubricant at your home then you can ask your nearby neighbours, it might be worth asking if they have spray lubricant you can borrow to get your key out of the door.
