Thank you sir! Cap was loose. You saved me time with this DIY project. 5 Stars
Worked perfectly. Thank you for the concise easy to understand repair video.
I have personally ran into these #LOCKBOSS issues in the past, great tips PJ keep them coming
Good info in the video and the comments. On inside mounted mortise cylinders that are seldom used, the cam screws can work themselves out so far that when a key is actually inserted and turned, they then prevent the plug from rotating back to vertical trapping the key and requiring removal of the cylinder to free it. #lockboss
Thank u for the informative and instructive video.
Good to know. I've run into that problem quite a few times. And I never knew exactly what was causing it. Thanks! #LOCKBOSS
Thanks so much. I had a small padlock that wouldn’t budge no matter what, but as soon as I tried this it opened instantly.
Thank you sir! Great tip that worked!
Screw caps you tighten as much as possible without forcing it(obviously), then back off one click. #LockBoss
🙌 -PJ
Good info,thanks for your video❤
I did this at my Mom's senior living apartment. They love the idea of using their apartment key for their storage locker (in a room down the hall). They don't have to find a separate padlock key, remember a combo, or do anything but take their normal set of keys to get their stored items.
Thx for the video. I am bad for over tightening the back cap when in the testing phase of a new pinning job. Also, challenging combinations that are within MACs can be problematic like an 8-2-9 🇨🇦#LockBoss🇨🇦
Rekeyed an office door awhile back not aware it was on a master key system. Took me forever to figure out why my new key was stuck. Now I know next time to check. On my way to being a #lockboss
I have had this happen several times and it stumped me at first. Great video ! #LOCKBOSS
Amazing,thanks alot
The Master pins have caught me on the second one while rekeying. I have learned to spray a degreaser and clean all parts before rekeying. It makes it smoother and drops out all of the old master pins. #LockBoss
Hi PJ!
Another way a key can get stuck in a lock is by not having a balanced stack, along with a long spring.
It's like trying to fit a square peg in a round hole. 🤣🗝🔑🔐🔏🔓🔒
Thank you for sharing!
#Lockboss
Great tips and solutions to the problems. In Locksport, with hand filing keys I got a key stuck because the edges of the depth cuts were not the 60 degree or 80 degrees, ( I cant remember exactly), that was needed for the smooth operation of the key. Learnt a lot that day! #LockBoss Australia
The same thing has happened to me. I was able to get it out, but it was a fight!
@@DoctorHogmaster Yes it's quite the battle to recover the key. I was lucky I put up a video asking for help on what I was not doing right and the locksport locksmith Paul Springett made a video explaining what was wrong and how to fix it. That saved the day.
Thank you!
PJ thank you for the awesome pinning mat and the other great prizes, awesome
You bet! -PJ
#Lockboss it, I figured out the loose cap my first time many years ago. Great video 👌
#Lockboss Great info. Always remember the basics. Thanks PJ
Been there, done that, PJ! My biggest fault for getting keys stuck was failing to replace the top pin with a shorter one when the key pin was changed to a much longer length during a rekey. After a few of those, I did learn my lesson! ‘Cause....I’m a #lockboss
for sure! -PJ
Great practical tips here for a common-enough problem, and easy solutions like a #lockboss - thanks for sharing this PJ 😊
You bet!-PJ
Very good video. Just had one two days ago. On a mortise lock the key was 180 degrees out of phase with the bible and wouldn't turn. Turns out the cam was hung up on a broken chunk of spring inside the lock.

Thanks!
Great video PJ!!! THE pin trap could be a reason a key could be stuck!!! 🔐🔑 #LockBoss
😂 -PJ
Great video pj. Keys stuck n lock. James estep the locksmith living legend. #lockboss
Same thing can happen with cylinders that use a clip to retain the tailpiece, usually after years of wear. If you don't have a proper replacement clip, putting a slight bend in the clip will often tighten things up enough for at least a temporary repair. Likewise, the groove the clip fits in may wallow out. Bending the clip may be the only answer short of replacing the cylinder.
Also, when originating a key, make sure you are using the correct blade. The wrong blade can effect the MACS or leave the key with a vertical cut surface that can trap a key.
#lockboss
Great Points! Thanks for sharing Barry -PJ
That's great advice, thankyou!
Great video PJ!
all the reasons for sticking of the key are bang on lol
Stay well #LOCKBOSS
Thanks! -PJ
Great reminders for any #Lockboss on the go or in a hurry and forgets to make a tiny adjustment or tighten everything just right, and nobody wants to cut themself into a lockout key by missing those MACS!!!
😂 very true! -PJ
I’ve definitely run into both of those issues. Nice video! #lockboss
Good tips for any #lockboss# to remember
Great tips PJ. I think I've encountered all of them at various times. #lockboss
good suggestion, lock boss
Great video and great tips #LockBoss
Good info. I have had trouble with loose caps in the past #lockboss
Awesome video!! Could also use some Houdini!! Dirty gritty locks don’t like to open very well. Houdini cleans and lubricates!! Love that stuff!! Thank goodness you have small and large cans!! Great way to get to be a #lockboss
Great point! -PJ
I get this call all the time, such an easy fix-most of the time..Great Video! #LOCKBOSS
It really is!-PJ
Thanks ✌🏾
Great advice, seems like you’ve covered all the bases. #Lockboss
Thank u guys for the videos. The information is very helpful I use a lot of the knowledge I've learned from here day-to-day today #lockboss
Thank you! -PJ
Excellent info, thank you as always.. #lockboss
Thanks for all of the great videos. #LockBoss
I bought a new wisers door lock set and the keys that came with it don’t work. Is there a way I can fix the pins to make the keys work?
Great advice as usual. Please keep these videos coming. Besides just needing some lubrication a much less common problem, is too short of a top pin, where the top pin and the bottom pin together are lower than the shear line and the spring can get caught between the plug and the cylinder or even a skinny master pin getting caught where it shouldn't. #LockBoss
Great point! Thanks Dave -PJ
great tips wouldnt say you missed anything. kinda an obvious one but sometimes a lock binds and you think you have it in the 12 o clock position but you dont. when in doubt jiggle and pinch. #lockboss
Great tips...and solutions. i could of used this video last week. LOL! #LockBoss
🙌-PJ
Haven't had this problem yet, but I'm sure my turn is coming. Thanks to you I'll know how to handle it. Thank you for the useful information every #Lockboss needs to know.
thanks! -PJ
Great information, thanks
#lockboss
Some cheap after market locks, after rekeying, can cause the key to get stuck in the lock d/t plug holes not aligning with bible holes. A fix for this would be to round off the top of the bottom pins (like old original kwikset pins)
PJ, great reminders, #lockboss, keep them coming. Father Frank
Awesome video, PJ.#LockBoss
Great information for a #lockboss! I've run to this a time or two. Also key stuck in a car. For a broken key I would use the Wedgco kit. Thanks #clksupplies!
🙌 -PJ
HON 137E, plug came out. Stuck in locked position. How do I get it to unlock?
I have a dead bolt that was just installed by a handyman, but the key will only come out when it is unlocked. In addition, when it has been locked with the key the nob inside is stuck in the locked position and will not turn. This is the second deadbolt he has installed with this issue, so I assume he has installed it wrong. Any idea what the issue is?
Great tips! #LockBoss
Really like the info, just starting out and need all the help I can get. #LockBoss.
Hey Brad, Welcome! -PJ
Great video on a common problem often overlooked by my competitor - I get a number of "stuck key" calls and the fix is always an easy, but important one! #AccessLock&KeyLLC #LockBoss
Good stuff!-PJ
What is it?
I figured out the first one for myself, and came up with one you sorta go by- I put a top pin in position 6 without putting a bottom pins in there. It took shimming to sort that out, so I had to wait for them to be delivered from you. Novice #lockboss
Awesome video man. Cool to see you guys reaching out #lockboss
Thanks Joshua! -PJ
Always well described solutions. #lockboss
Kwikset satin nichole exterior door that I have and key won't come out ....HELP PLEASE‼️
Awesome info for the new people thanks PJ #LOCKBOSS
As always great info video, #Lockboss.
Thanks Steve -PJ

Great info Thank you #lockboss
Great advice PJ. Thanks #lockboss
Thanks for the info pj i am in the middle of reading the locksmith training program from clk its pretty good so far #lockboss
Very cool! Thanks Ronald -PJ
I have to say, I’m a big fan of your PDFs. Thank you ! #LOCKBOSS
Glad to hear, thanks for letting me know!-PJ
I like the series and have done business with you all over the years. Good tips overall that are hard to find other places. #lockboss
Thank you for the support!-PJ
Great simple solutions from our #LockBoss PJ!
Thanks Mark -PJ
great video pj!! lot of great useful information. thanks #lockboss
Thanks Jerry -PJ
#LockBoss Great info thanks !!
Thanks PJ #LockBoss
I’ve found out with schlage F series locks if you don’t use top pins and springs intended for that lock, you can get jams as if it was loaded with master pins.#Lockboss
Thanks for share. I liked the master pinning video better, #Lockboss
Damn I could have used this video years ago but always great as a friendly reminder thxs PJ #lockboss
I love the tips and tricks videos! Keep up the great work! #lockboss
Thanks! -PJ
Still can't get it out. I would submit a pic, but it won't allow me
This video would have been great for my former coworker! Our road tech would get all upset because he never tightened the castle nut or the screws on the cam on the mortise cylinders when he prepped jobs in the shop. notice I said former... and great explanation on MACS!
#lockboss
Always remember to lubricate after rekeying! Sometimes the cylinder just needs love 💗 #lockboss
So true! -PJ
Nice info!, For all the #LockBoss type people!.
Question: you always say to remove the master pins/wafers but shouldn't you first know if that lock is part of a master keyed system or a multi key system? You don't want to get called back to fix a problem of your own creation, possibly free.
Yes, it's mainly if you are working/keying up a lock and not following the rules! -PJ
Awesome video ! #Lockboss
Another reason for keys getting stuck are because of the presence burrs on the cuts.I’ve had this problem occur three times with ones cut on my Pak-A-Punch.
Good point! -PJ
Hi hi. So housekeeping mistakenly forced in the wrong key 😩 literally your words in the beginning of this video where you mentioned this scenario is for a whole different video 😅. Please help. Because I'm dealing with a wrong key in stuck in the cylinder.
I've stuck a key while impressioning. A good #lockboss will file sharp points down on an impressioned key
Now that is nice to know #lockboss
Some great info., glad I found you're channel. #LOCKBOSS
Thanks and welcome! -PJ
great info! #LOCKBOSS
What can I say my friend excellent tips it's all happen at one time too me thanks for the great video 😎#LOCKBOSS
🙌 -PJ
Do you have a video explaining how to get the wrong key out of a lock like you were saying the beginning
We have key extraction vids-PJ
Dear Mr. #Lockboss , I made an oops while practicing pinning a schlage rim cylinder for my 1st time. To make a long story short my key is stuck and wont shim open due to the top pins falling into the empty bottom pin holes. I forgot to put the back locking cap on before removing the key from the locked position causing the once fully loaded plug to pull out partially, losing 3 top pins and springs. How does someone in my position get the top pin cap off? I am having a hard time trying to get that pin cover off. Is there a trick to getting it off? Thank you for any advice you can toss my way.
Hey Jay Jay, We've all done this! It's hard to say without seeing it. If it's the crimped on type I would recommend gently prying back the crimped pieces -PJ
@@clksupplies Can I send you a pic of what I'm up against? Thank you so much for responding.
#LockBoss good to know about that
I don't see the MACS pdf in the notes like the video mentioned.... although I'd love to take a look at it. Last time I got a key stuck in a lock it was because I was testing a bump key on my house and I ended up breaking something in the cylinder. Had to use a pick to lift the pins to remove the key. So reason #3, being stupid with bump keys. :) I guess if you're learning to be a #lockboss you're bound to make a few dumb mistakes along the way, right? Thanks again for another great video!
I found out that the more wd40 u use win useing bump keys the better chance of geting it unlocked quicker
Hi Doug, here is a link to it! cdn.shopify.com/s/files/1/0839/9519/files/MACS.pdf?v=1603907399

I had a few miscut keys get stuck. Main if they come from big box stores kiosk machines. #LockBoss
An old lesson but a good one to know. #lockboss
Not to long ago I had an apartment where the little pin in the back broke.
That was so far the only time I had that happen.
#lockboss.
The most common reason I know for key getting stuck is because someone tried to force open the lock and caused a damage to the internals of the lock, mostly springs. But I guess that's too a very different video... thanks! #Lockboss
Very true! -PJ
Those are tricks of the trade of that every #LockBoss will need to know. Sometimes we just don't think of the simple solution. LOL
righ! -PJ
