What to Do When Half of the Car Key Breaks Inside

[AdrianFitz]

Here are the methods to remove the key: 1. When the key breaks inside the lock, borrow a hammer. Gently tap the lock seam with the hammer to try to return the key to its original position, then use the remaining half of the key to open it. 2. If the lock is a cross lock, prepare a small electric drill with the smallest drill bit. Drill a few holes around the lock to slightly enlarge the keyhole. Prepare a piece of wire, apply 502 glue on it, insert the wire, wait a few minutes for the glue to dry, then use the wire to pull out the key. 3. If the lock is a flat lock and the key breaks at the entrance of the keyhole, use a specialized single hook to reach inside the lock and hook out the broken key. If the key is not broken at the entrance, use a small wire to reach in, hook the key, and pull it out.
