Bumkey got stuck

[TheSkyer]

I know this is a beginners mistake but my the bumpkey i madewas to jagged and got stuck. Any tips on how to get it out? It's in one of my practice locks unfortunatly which I know cant use to practice XD

place the lock tightly in a vise. Get a large pair of vise-grip pliers and lock them firmly onto the key. take a hammer and strike the vise-grip pliers just above where they clamp to the key.

A bump key shouldn't have enough material left on it to get stuck. The only way out now is to slide off the plate on the top of the bible and dump the stacks. If there is no way to get access through the top of the bible, then your bump key is dead. Cut off ALL the key bow/shoulder and push the blade out the back of the lock. Pay closer attention to the angle of the shoulder facing side on your cuts and your keys won't get stuck.

I thought finishing moves were advanced material. Megaton BUMP!

I don't really get the vise plier technique so I would like to go with sawing the key of. However it's a double sided lock with the rotating mechanism in the middle (the black part). Can i push it trough that?

(here's a lock that resembles the one the key got stuck in, it's a different brand tough with a normal key)

Nevermind, a good bit of abus lubricant and a few taps on the botom of the lock seemd to do it. Thanks for all the advice guys!

See....., Things always work better when you bring out the big hammer.

In our group of friends we have a saying

If it needs fixing, use a hammer. If it doesn't seem to work, you need a bigger hammer
