 **What to do if your key is stuck or broken in the lock**

🔒 **Is your key stuck inside the lock?** If you cannot remove your key or lock your bike, please do the following:

- **Inside our service area:** First, secure your bike by parking and locking it in the safest spot possible. Next, open the [app](https://app.swapfiets.com?destination=home) and search for "There's something wrong with my bike", then select "Other issue". Finally, book an on-location appointment so we can come exchange your bike.

- **Outside our service area:** Please [contact our customer support](https://help.swapfiets.com/contact?hsLang=en) team directly so we can find a solution for you right away.
