There’s nothing more frustrating than breaking a key in the lock, especially when you’re in a hurry or it’s cold. Luckily, there’s no need to panic or dismantle the entire lock! Here are 5 simple and effective tips for removing a broken key and opening the door without damaging the mechanism.
1. Use fine tweezers or flat-nose tweezers
If part of the broken key is still sticking out of the lock, carefully grasp it with tweezers or small flat-nose tweezers.
Tip: Pull it out slowly with gentle back-and-forth movements to avoid breaking it further.
2. Try a strong magnet.
Some types of keys (especially steel ones) can be removed with a strong magnet.
Place the magnet on the lock and pull gently: the metal part of the key will pop out.
Note: This method does not work with brass or aluminum keys. 
3. Use a hacksaw blade or sewing needle.
Place a thin hacksaw blade, a stiff needle, or a sewing needle next to the stuck key.
The goal is to hook the key into one of the notches and pull it toward you.
This method requires a little patience, but it’s very effective if you don’t have pliers handy.
4. Lubricate the lock.
