I think I would start by trying to suck it out with a vacuum cleaner. You might put a small hook, a really small hook on the end of a thin wire but even a paper clip can be too thick to work into a keyhole.

I have been catching up on email after being gone for a while and it sounds like some interesting projects are going on. My quest today is relatively small. I have a few doors in my house that I keep locked because my kids are really good at going three different directions the moment my attention is focused on something else. Anyway, I tried to put the key in one of the locks yesterday and the key would not go all the way in. I tried the key on another lock and it worked just fine. I think something very small may be inside the lock blocking the key. Is this the only possibility? Any suggestions for clearing the lock? I really hate the idea of having to get to the store twice to buy the lock and have it rekeyed to match the others before I can install a new lock.
