You, Sir, are a Genius! And now, I Look like one....With your instruction, I just got a broken key out of the lock on my Apartment Garage door, which was left in the open position. Cuticle scissors......worked like a charm! Thank You!

[@simonwilsoncreative]

First method worked a treat! Thank you!

[@hasiynahmohammed353]

Thank you so much for this video!!! My key had broke in my home door, called the locksmith. They wanted to charge me $54+ dollars to come out. couldn't afford it, so i youtube it and your video came up. I did the first one (scissors) and it came right out! YOU'RE AWESOME THANKS!!!!!!!

[@thewolf3582]

U saved my life. U saved me money and hassle too. It worked for me with the first step . Thank u so much

[@eunykimeu5806]

Wow ! Quite helpful! I have followed your ways and I've succeeded to remove a broken key from a padlock! I was so desperate but you have helped so much! God bless you!

[@StarSpell5]

Sir, thank you so much for sharing this, I could not get the another half out. The Scissor worked in one try. May my Heavenly Father, bless you for this video, as he did me finding it.

[@yiguanas812]

I see so many negative comments here. I was about to take an axe to the damn door and the scissor trick did the job. Now I have a new, working lock on the door and it cost me nothing. You, sir, are a STAR !!!!!!!!!

[@olutayodoris4771]

I tried the scissors one, and it worked! Like I don’t have to get a new lock😂 would’ve been a pain. Thank You 👏 👏

[@jasonmassey461]

Scissors worked for me. Thanks my guy. Pulled it right out.

[@SheikhHasnain]

Thank you very much for the idea. I used a small screw driver. It worked like a charm.

Method 1: Now try it while the cilinder is still in the door and your work area is just 180 degrees aka a flat surface. Method 2: You still need to replace your cilinder. Using a 2nd key at the other side of the cilinder will push out the broken key in most cases.

[@JayGamba]

Using scissors with a curved and pointed end worked. Got the broken key out in a couple of minutes. Thank you so much for the tip, saved me lots of money!

[@victorrobison5069]

I'm not going to take the time to make a video about it, but if you take a sewing needle and break off one side of the eye, it can slide under the teeth of the key and the resulting hook will remove the key. I use a small pair of pliers to grip the needle. Obviously, size the needle to the lock.

[@sipafc673]

Thank you, just had the key break off in my shed lock. Scissor technique opened it straight away. Thanks again

[@sanderslongdrive]

Great advice. I used nail scissors which had a delicate curved end.

[@poconglordsimulations7236]

It's work for me

[@albiefernandes9545]

Thanks for the video , I used one of those micro screwdrivers and was able to remove the broken key without removing the door lock from the door. It worked a treat!

[@joeyhcmc]

1. chew a gum until it loses its flavor. Then take it out of your mouth and mold it like a flat U-bed shape. Press the flat shape against the lock where broken key is showing. Now, put a string inside the U-shape and close it by folding down on both sides. Then, get an ice-cube and rub it over the gum until it is hardened. Lastly, pull the string gently to get the broken key out. 2.If that does not work, apply super glue or epoxy on the tip of the broken key and attach it to a string or something to pull the broken key out.

[@goldigit]

And if neither of these work, get a bottle of Jim Beam and pour precisely one quarter of the contents into a bowl. Don't dilute the bourbon... it must be neat. Place the bowl on the floor, get down on all fours and start lapping up the alcohol and mewing like a cat. When the bowl is empty, call the locksmith. Half an hour later the broken key will have been removed from the lock and you'll be feeling very very mellow. Problem solved.

[@ofeenee]

The scissors worked like a charm!! Thank you so much for sharing this video. 🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏

[@kelleyhughes969]

I had no luck with scissors or tweezers. My daughter suggested her cuticle trimmers. Bam. First try.

[@fortheloveofkimchee]

Thanks! Instead of scissors I used a dental pick because scissors wouldn't fit. You just saved my company the price of a locksmith and gave me the pleasure of repairing it myself.

[@kirosca]

thank god the scissors worked. wishing everyone else watching this video the best of luck with their broken keys lol

Used a really small, like for eye glass repair, flat head screwdriver. Worked great. Thanks!

Forget scissors/drilling just use two hardened needles and tease it out works every time

[@billbutler2452]

Spent 30 years doing operations & maintenance working at a state facility. Sometimes I covered weekend shifts, any & all service calls- too hot, cold, drafty , kitchen equipment not working, toilets, loose snake outside. Usually I did the job by myself- not always. For keys broke in the door-lock- I carried a regular safety pin 0n my tool belt. I would stick the point barely in the door hinge and tweak the point- just barely is more than enough, and slide it in alongside the key, and work the key out. If I couldn't do this in less than 5 minutes, and I did do it, 9 times out of ten, then the situation was more dire than my basic skills and I would have to call in the facility Locksmith on a 4 hour overtime call out. (Usually disturbing his family weekend).

[@stevenandario2526]

Whew... This video saved my life..

[@saieshaprithipaul4247]

Thank you for uploading this video. It worked like a charm, I used tweezers for a firm grip to pull the key out.

[@bixrog]

i am a caretaker in a big housing complex and broken keys are a daily thing....i use a bent paper clip and a pair of pliers....works every time and is quickly done

[@prof-stancescu]

Of course BixRog! What we see in this clip is a non professional work... A pair of long nose pliers would be the solution, at the beginning, then paperclips and pliers. Still non professional, but more clean and efficient.

[@KaizenMontage]

[@kevinhageman4048]

Thank you. Drilling was the only method I could make work. Took 30 seconds.

[@billparker2574]

super glueing the two pieces back together works sometimes too

[@aidanr444]

I have just removed the broken key from a lock very similar to this. I took it out of the door, held it with the broken key lowest and tapped the barrel gently a few hundred times. It just gradually came out due to gravity. I have to say i tried everything suggested in this vid and similar ... frustration was the only result. Just be patient, tap gently with a little hammer or similar and trust in the fact that it won't fall upwards! It will only make its way down until you can get a good grasp of it. Ah, such a relief to have it fixed.

What I use is a pick tool go in slow once the pick it’s all the way in I turn it either way to 45 degree and take it out as fast as I can and the broker key comes out

[@jiggamo8071]

Just did this for my Mom. Thanks! It took about 20 seconds.

[@stevecollins6858]

3 ways and this is the best way. Cut a thin section of a plastic straw and super glue the 1 side. Slide it in wet side against key and let it dry. Pull and key will come out attached to strip.

[@muztert]

I used my MacGyver-knife to do the same thing, it worked like a charm! Thank you!

used a pair of scissors today(26/9/19) to remove a piece of broken key from my front door,using your technique,all I can say is thank you very much.

First you must break your key, Second you have been locked outside your home. Mission Failed

I use a pick, usually a single hook!!!.. Slide it down the side, twist the pick and pull.. POP, out the broken key cameos... BOOM into the grinding machine and make your customer a new key

[@limogesfarmer6326]

neat tricks! For option 1, you could use just about anything that was pointy, and for option 2, you could in fact use the drill bit to pull it out. :)

[@nemez6378]

in most of the cases you can use a strong magnet. eg. neodium, from an old hardrive. you're welcome.

[@TazRulesNY]

Nem Ez Most keys are made from brass you could have a magnet from a junk yard that lifts cars but won't pull that key out 😂

I doubt it would be simple to solder to a key in a lock... that's a big heat sink.

"my method" is tested in three cases and work Thermal transfer between key and lock make important role. Know practice in hard repairs is also welding nut on cutted(cracked) screw, very similiar principle.

[@paulcastro1361]

I had pulled out a broken key that was so deep in the cylinder that I could barely see it inside of it. All I did was to take the key cylinder out just like in the video, got a hammer with a hard plastic tip, and grabbed the cylinder with the keyhole facing me; I started hitting it medium hard with the hammer. And slowly but surely the piece of broken key started to come out. What happens is that the locking pins in the cylinder holds the key in it using pressure provided by some tiny springs , but when you bit the cylinder's body with the hammer the springs give way and the broken key starts to come out. And that's the end of it. Just that simple. I wouldn't think this trick will work on all different types of locks. But I'm pretty sure it will on most of them that uses a key like the one on this video. REMEMBER TO POSITION THE CYLINDER WITH THE KEYHOLE FACING YOU AS YOU HIT IT WITH THE HAMMER. I hope this helps somebody.

[@alphonsoba8171]

Not only are the two methods shown stupid (scissors? Any point object?); let's drill a hole in the lock (duuuh), but the person doing them is useless as well (clumsy and unskilled). If using the pointy object, you should apply pressure on the other side as well. And you NEVER drill the lock (how dumb is that). As another commenter suggested, why not just use a key extractor, or hook. So... how are these 'brilliant' solutions? Who rates these things?

[@chloe1766]

I'm a locksmith that has removed hundreds of broken keys so I think I can say that I have experience in this area. Use a good set of broken key extractors. But for the layman who doesn't want spend any money on tools a needle can work well. The NUMBER ONE reason most people can't remove a broken key is they try to remove key thats turned in the lock. The key can only be removed in the vertical position. Something everybody knows by using their locks everyday, but don't remember when a key is broken. It's a very common mistake that has made me a lot of money.
