How to remove a broken key in a lock!
Most people don't have fancy Locksmith tools and occasionally find they broke a key off inside their lock.
DON'T PANIC! There is a way to get it out without the stupid superglue or other gimmicks. I'm trying to use every day items you may find in your home, car, or around the house to help you fix it.
If your 1st attempt isn't successful, stay calm and try again.
Good luck and I hope this video helps someone.
Mike

Outstanding!! I'm glad it helped you Great job!
The most realistic scenario and solution. No nonsense content. Gonna try this one later.
I had a broken key in the trunk of my car for years-tried a bunch of different things to no avail. Your bent paperclip method worked like a charm. Thanks for posting!
Key totally broken all the way in the back. 2 pins all the way down in front of it. 5 minutes with this method! Thank you!
Oh my gosh! Thank You! I had a key broken off in my Kennedy tool box (for years) and just did your paper clip trick and was able to finally extract that key end.
I can’t thank you enough for this video and hack. I have been trying for months on how to get a key out of shed lock. I was thinking I would have to call a locksmith soon.

That's fantastic! Very nice job :-) It's not always an easy task and watching the other videos saying to use superglue to get it out are just crazy and should be removed. I'm happy the video helped you save the money and helped you fix it yourself. Thank you for sharing Mike
Got a deep broken key out in under 5 minutes using this method. No glue sticks, candles, knives or gimmicks. Thank you!

The biggest reason I made this video is because I have seen the gimmick videos. One says to put super glue on the head of the broken key and insert it into the lock to connect the 2 halves and then "just pull it out". I had a customer that tried that and ended up superglue the key tip inside the lock. I extract broken keys all the time and the method I use is this video (but using special tools for it). Hopefully this helps a lot of people. I would rather help everyone be able to remove their key and prevent them from from making things worse.

Hi, Thank you for the excellent “how to do it” presentation. After wrestling with the broken key in the door at my place, I used your bent paper clip technique and eventually, I was able to get the broken section out. Needless to say, I’m very grateful for your lesson as you saved me the hassle and expense of having to call a locksmith. Thank you once again!

Thanks. Just had a key break off in the lock. Had the paper clip but no players to bend it. Used the key opening to put a slight bit of paperclip in to bend it in the 45 I needed. Did it the same fashion as you and popped out identical. Thanks again
Holy crap, I felt like Batman and Bob Vila all at once. Thank you so much for this video, got my sons key out the door like it was nothing!
Just used this method and it worked in like 10 seconds!! Thank you my guy!!
My key has teeth or bittings on both sides so I used 2 paper clips to get the broken part out. It did take 20 minutes and needle nose pliers to do the job but I am glad I watched this video to learn this method. There is one other video just tells you to drill the lock and replace the whole set.
Great job Mike!! 👍
