    Hello, I know there are many such cases, but mine is a bit extraordinary. There is a key in the door that cannot be removed or used to open the door (the door is locked). Can this problem be solved somehow without replacing the door and calling a specialist?

    I took out the key, the door is still locked and the lock does not respond to opening. I have a new lock, but how do I remove the old one from a locked door?

    Drill the cylinder, open the lock, then open the door and start replacing the lock.

    Of course, drilling the insert will do the trick. We drill below the key so that the locking pins come out through the drilled hole, then the insert can be turned with a screwdriver. I've done this several times myself.
