Bent or Deformed Key – Safe Solution with a Certified Locksmith in Puerto Rico

Using excessive force on the switch or lock

When the cylinder is stiff, the pressure falls on the key, causing it to bend.

Metal wear over time

The keys lose strength and become more prone to deformation or breakage.

Risks of using a bent key (important ⚠️)

It may break inside the switch or lock.

A deformed key has a high risk of breaking during use.

It wears down and damages the ignition cylinder

Continuous use may affect the system's internal pins.

What NOT to do (key 🔥)

Do not attempt to straighten it manually

👉 This further weakens the metal and increases the risk of immediate breakage.

Don't keep using it "until it gives out"

👉 This could end in a more costly emergency.
