Broken Keys

Most keys will eventually wear out and break along any of the key's main cuts. Some conditions may speed up the deterioration of a key though. The key will be more prone to breaking if there is one or more deep cuts, these are weak points in the key. After a long time of use and some abuse, a key will break at one of these points. Deep cuts next to the head of the key will weaken it the same as multiple deep cuts in the center of the key blade.
The key could also be made of light-weight material that may not be suited for long-term use. This is usually the case with aluminum keys. They tend to break at deep cuts sooner than other materials. Usually when a key is about to break you will notice one or more tiny cracks. Check your keys periodically, especially the ones you depend on every day. If you see tiny cracks on your keys it is best to go to a professional locksmith and have a new key cut.
