Best Answer

I usually punch the door a few times and swear a lot.

But seriously, I've had great success with a set of needle-nose pliers. If that doesn't work, try a power drill with a steel-cutting bit. The down-side of that is that whatever the lock was on is going to be unlocked until you can get a new lock. If It's the lock on your toolbox... Borrow a set of pliers or a drill from your friend.

Are you locked out of the office What are the possibilities?

Possibility 1- Lost Key You, the manager, or the supervisor may have lost the office key. You frantically search for it but you never get it when you need it the most. Isn’t it the same with any misplaced object? But keys are important. You cannot afford to sit back and search for it another day. But what if you don’t find the key to the office after searching for it in all the possible places? You have just lost the keys to your office, and the best way out of it would be to find alternate solutions. Possibility 2- Broken & Stuck Key Though a rarity, sometimes, your key breaks. It may break when you forcefully try turning it inside the lock. It may even break otherwise. If the key breaks outside, your lock is safe. But if it breaks while trying to unlock the door, you will be left with one part inside the lock and the rear end of the key in your hand. The first care in such situations is not forcefully trying to remove the stuck key from the lock.
