Broken Keys

After several years of usage it's not unusual for keys to break. If your key is damaged inside the lock, you will need to replace it. But if the rest of the key is still in good shape you may be able to repair it.

A paperclip can be used to grasp the broken piece on both sides and lever it out. If the broken piece isn't stuck too far inside the lock, you could try using a pair pliers.
