When the tip of the key breaks for one reason or another and remains in the lock core, the situation seems hopeless. But if you have suitable materials or objects at hand, then through simple manipulations the tip of the key can be pulled out of the lock without much difficulty in nine ways, discussed below.

9 ways to remove a broken key yourself

1. We insert the end of the jigsaw file into the gap between the entrance to the cylinder and the broken tip of the key, grabbing the upper edge of the tip with the teeth of the file and pulling the fragment out.

Then we grab the tip of the tip with tweezers and pull the key tip out of the lock.

2. Sprinkle and press baking soda powder into the gaps between the key tip and the hole in the cylinder. Then squeeze a drop of superglue onto the tip of the knife blade and glue it to the end of the key fragment.

Carefully pull the knife out and pull out the broken tip of the key.

3. Melt the end of the glue stick with a lighter flame and press it against the end of the lock cylinder with the broken key blade. Then carefully peel it off from the smooth end of the lock cylinder and pull out the key fragment.

4.Using the end of the wire, we apply a little flux to the end tip of the key tip in the lock cylinder, melt it with the flame of a lighter, solder the end of the wire, cleared of insulation, with a gas torch and after the solder has hardened, we easily pull out the key piece by pulling the wire.

5. Cover the end of the lock cylinder on both sides of the key tip fragment with construction tape. We press a paraffin candle to the end of the key tip and heat it in the flame of a gas burner.

We wait a while for the paraffin to harden and remove the broken key blade from the lock cylinder.

6. Sprinkle and at the same time press baking soda into the gaps between the hole of the lock cylinder and the fragment of the key tip and the tip of the knife from above with oscillatory movements, push the key tip outward and then pull it out with your fingers.

7. Insert the spare key from the back of the lock until it stops in order to partially push out the fragment of the key tip, and completely pull it out using tweezers.

8. Apply a drop of superglue to the end of a thin twine and touch it to the tip of the broken key. We wait a few seconds for the glue to set, and pull out the key piece by lightly pulling on the twine.

9. Using a drill drill out a depression in the lock cylinder next to the broken key blade. Then, using the sharp end of the screw, use an oscillating motion to push the piece of key outwards and finally pull it out, grasping it with your fingers.
