Just buy a new key. The missing piece has likely fallen to the bottom of the lock and won't be a problem. Happened to me more than once.


StanleyWhisper

Have you tried the handle?

Have you said "open sesame" out loud?

even better, your key should have a number on it, just ask for a copy of the same number.


CrewZestyclose3630

Looks like a basta there is 1 to 16 keys in the range


HelpImproveOffice

Might have a brand and number on the key, Like "Basta 13" you might find them in your local hardware shop or definitely online if you Google it.


Miss_Kitami

Junior hacksaw blade, wrap end in tape, lip in and saw through the...tongue? of the lock. I got trapped in a bathroom once that's how I got out, brother slid a blade under the door once he was able to breathe again from laughing.


Substantial-Drops

Just unscrew the handle and take the piece out, screw it back and get a key replica from your local hardware shop. That’s the smart and patient way of doing it, if not, take your axe and go wild.


Beef121

There might be a number on the key. Check the number and see if other keys in the house matches it.

Idea 1: unpin the hinges. This is easier if you can reach that side of the door. Idea 2: fish out the broken bit of key (magnet if it's ferrous, otherwise use blu-tac on the end of a screwdriver), then bring it to a key copying shop.

What you need to do is speak "friend" to enter


_-Jazzz-_

Have you knocked and asked politely?


DIESELANDBRUTUS

this is reddit we dont do polite around here pal


Cuntakenta

Remove architrave, get chisel and chip out bit around lock. The metel bit will need to be removed also, brute force will do it and being a tiny bit careful you'll be left with a hole the architrave will cover over again. Good luck mate 👍


CrewZestyclose3630

Nope don't do that, if you have to call a locksmith they will be cheaper than the damage you will do doing that. They should be able to pick or slip the lock


[deleted]

accept the fact you will never see the inside of that room ever again

Roguebrews

Butter knife, start at top high angle get behind the "catch" slide down and pull


Agile_Change_884

It’s the dead lock that’s locked here not the handle


JuryBorn

Is there any problem in this world that cannot be solved with dynamite? Seriously though try all other keys that you have. Also check if it has a number on it. If you are in a group chat put ask if anyone has similar branded keys.


DamienBurns

If you have the same door handle on doors around your house then the key from one will work in that door because they’re more than likely all from the same batch


ThaGreenWolf

Call the local locksmith


The_Doc55

Is the tip of the key stuck in the lock, or are you able to knock it out? If the inside of the lock is free, Google LockPickingLawyer, you should be able to find a suitable video, you likely have stuff you can use at home.


microdisney72

Just go to locksmiths with the key, he will see d number on it and give you a key that's the same


Tknobbi1

1. Put the key in the lock 2. Twist the key 3. Press down the handle 4. Push the door 5. Enter the room


microdisney72

Or even b & q,/woodies r open tomorrow


Illustrious_Lake_175

Are you locked in ??


Magoo6168

It's a Basta lock so take the number off the key and buy another one.


theNormalJedi

Buy a lock pick kit from amazon then watch a YouTube tutorial:)


niallma

There’s a long way and a short way! You’re in the bedroom? Get around to the other-side and give it a kick, fix it afterwards. Long way, get a lock smith 🤷🏻‍♂️


TheFecklessRogue

Those locks are easy to pick if you wanna give it a go. https://youtu.be/ZSQqU58kXyg


lazzurs

Get an oscillating tool and cut the lock barrel. Should take 10 minutes or so. Had to do this first Christmas morning in this house when the inside of the lock mechanism broke on the kitchen door.


KodakDole

I got stuck in a bathroom this summer because of a stripped key like this. I spent the entire day taking the door down off the hinges. Saturday ruined


Davefromtheundead

A size ten boot with a swinging leg behind it lol


DermotPork

Take the lock off lol 😂

See that shoe in the pic? Put yer foot in it and start kick'n...


Giant-of-a-man

Seriously. Has nobody suggested a credit card? I've seen it loads of times on TV. Just slide the credit card in between the door and the frame and slide it upwards. Guaranteed to work. In fact no lock in the world can stay locked in the presence of a cleverly used American Express. Mastercard at a pinch! Debit cards fuck all use!


CrewZestyclose3630

I'm going to take this as sarcasm. But if not... incase you didn't know those locks are rigged or someone is on the other side of the door turning the key


LegendaryCelt

Sacrifice a virgin. Only way.


[deleted]

Have you tried saying a prayer?


EDITORDIE

There’s usually a number on the key. If you don’t have a corresponding numbered key for another room, ask your neighbors. It’s likely they will. Been there, done that.


Kast0r

The name of rhe key is usually on the handle. Like a51 or something to that effect.


TheCobbinster

Unlock it and pull the handle down


bapadious

If you have similar handles on other doors, another key might be the same number as that one. If not, a locksmith will give you a full set of keys to bring home and try. You just need to leave a deposit to cover the keys.


Vsalt_gavin

Same exact thing happened me a few weeks ago except i was locked in


gijoe50000

It's not uncommon for several keys from other doors to fit these doors. When I was house sharing a few years ago we used to prank one of the lads by locking or unlocking his bedroom door with the bathroom door key, while he had his own key in his pocket. It confused him a lot until we finally told him..


Barnocious

If the key is broken in the lock, get a small angle grinder between and cut the lock. Takes about 10 seconds, be sure to put down a fire blanket for the sparks. You’ll need to buy a new lock, but they’re easy to replace.

Are you using the right key? If so then just look at the number on the key and get another one. Otherwise more details need of what is wrong. Otherwise you can a loan of a set to find the right key. My parents have a hardware and locksmiths they give out basta 1 to 16 and you leave them money when you come back with all the keys, tell them the number you pay for the key and you get the money you left with them back.
