Key broken off in lock door
If you have a key broken off in lock house, you have two choices:
- Getting your broken key out of lock yourself
- Getting your key out of lock by a locksmith
How do you get a broken key out of the lock yourself?
There are several ways to remove broken key from lock yourself:
- Take a piece of welding wire of the thinnest kind. Bend a short hook at the end of the thread. Push the welding wire through a slot on the side of the lock. Turn and try to get under the key with the hook. Pull the welding wire and you have a chance that the key will come out.
- Put a small drop of super glue against the broken part of the lock. Hold the other part of the key against the broken part of the key for a few moments.
- Using a thin rod, push back the key from the other side. This only works for certain locks.
None of these methods always works. Often you spend a lot of time and effort for nothing. It is better to call a locksmith.
