Keys and Why locksmith Bristol says They Snap

If your key snaps in your lock it is usually to do with the age of your key and general wear and tear of your lock. Also it is very often that people accidentally try to unlock the door with the wrong key.

However, sometimes it can be to do with a faulty lock or poor quality keys. The key’s teeth become worn and therefore unable to slot into your door lock correctly.
