Door Locked Basta No 10, Now Won't Open

dfbemt

Have been missing the key to the utility room for a while. Found a key today, tried it in the lock. Turned no problem, locked the door, now won't open.

Key turns part way alright but won't turn all the way so won't open the door.

Don't want to force the door. Is there anything else I can try?

Key is a Basta No 10 and the door opens out into utility so I can't get at lock to cut with rip saw.

Help before I get an earful off the wife !!!

its possible that the key used was not the correct number
the right one may be basta 11 or 12 etc
they make a series of keys quite similar
see have you another out of your bedroom/kitchen doors

Checked with neighbours who kindly gave me all their keys. Thankfully found the one I needed by the 3rd or 4th key and was not a No 10 !!

Some places will let you hire a set of the keys so you can figure out which ones you need.
