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!
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!!!!!!!
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!
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.
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 !!!!!!!!!
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.
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.
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.
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.
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).
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!
Thank you so much. Today take out the broken key from the main door a week ago. I looked for a key maker in the area a 🍃🌸🍃 found the price at $ 40. It did not cost me to take out the key. Just a small scissors 🍃🌸🍃🍃🌸🍃🍃🌸🍃🍃🌸🍃🍃🌸🍃🍃🌸🍃🍃🌸🍃🍃🌸🍃🍃🌸🍃🍃🌸🍃🍃🌸🍃🍃🌸🍃🍃🌸🍃🍃🌸🍃🍃🌸🍃🍃🌸🍃🍃🌸🍃
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!
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
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
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
"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.
This video helped me out. I got it out by the first method by prying it out. I have to add, if the key don't come out easily then turn the lock into a different position and try that. Then it came out very easily for me
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
+Chuck Norris , personally, I'd use an extractors... (if by chance, they don't work) I would dis-assemble the lock, push out with a wire. so as take no chance of damage.
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?
So I'm aggravated because my key is broken in the door and that music just tripled my anxiety way up! I really wanted to see how you got the key out but I just couldn't handle that music
put crazy glue on finger tip and touch key nub a few seconds...pull out key remnant and then type in youtube "how to get crazy glued stuff off your body parts"
Actualy sharp needle points and exacto knifes would well to pry em out ,,,sharp edge catches brass key pretty solid! WAY better than thick friggen dull a$$ed scissors!
I used small flat head screw driver and my thumb and it wiggled out. Husband was trying to get it out with curtain cutters?! I said move aside I’ll show you stuff, I can do stuff.. He couldn’t believe it! Thanks whoever gave me that tip.
I did want use my good scissors and couldn't find my cheap ones but when find my cheap pair after trying everything else tweezers and other thing beside the drill the broke key came right out first try didn't damage scissors at all. Thanks you save me from buying another seventeen dollar lock.
but my driller and scissors are behind the door with the broken key LOL

thank god the scissors worked. wishing everyone else watching this video the best of luck with their broken keys lol
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 👏 👏
Great advice. I used nail scissors which had a delicate curved end.
It's work for me
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.

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

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

super glueing the two pieces back together works sometimes too
Thanks mate I tried the first method it worked well.

thank you for this, used a nail clipper. i got it out less than a min.
Man this is genius...I got it out using your technique
This worked like a charm

omg my key is broken ........wait there is scissors in my pocket and drill in wallet thank god
Thank you for uploading this video. It worked like a charm, I used tweezers for a firm grip to pull the key out.
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.
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. :)
Speaking as a locksmith who does a of this stuff.. Ignore this video.
pjdambra and do what instead...
Powerful explosives will usually get the key out.
How can you move the scissors backward of the lock if its build into a door ???
get a set of miniature watch screws,mini flathead screwdrivers,they will stick into the top and pick that right out !!
I tried tweezers to no avail. Tried scissors after watching your video - it worked! 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.

OMG ! someone please buy this guy a pair of pointy nose pliers !
Try spraying with penetrating oil and use a very strong magnet. This worked on my boat trailer lock! John Castelluccio, Jr.

Share something then you stain rather than criticising
Just did this for my Mom. Thanks! It took about 20 seconds.
Am I the only one who finds funny a DIY video with a guy, whos "not that good" at dying? :D
Just stuck two small screwdrivers either side and pulled mine out in about 2 minutes.... Tweezers were too fat to get in the sides. GL
Whew... This video saved my life..
Watching the scissors method helped me out a ton! I was able to get a key out that I was really struggling with when trying to use pliers
I did it with some twizers and a pin pushing the broken key from the other side, hope it helps anyone
Thank you. Drilling was the only method I could make work. Took 30 seconds.
in most of the cases you can use a strong magnet. eg. neodium, from an old hardrive. you're welcome.
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 😂
Thank you! It worked straightaway with the scissors!!
Simply solder piece of wire on key and pull it... without lock damage Easier and clean way
SejnyM p
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

Daughter just broke key in lock and I removed it just now in seconds with my nail scissors
phew!
Thank you. The scissors method worked for me.
What worked for me, tiny bit of super glue on the key, stick it slowly hold for 10 secs, then gently pull it out.
I thought of that before I saw this video.
But then you still can't use the key anymore. I like the scissors technique.

Its awesome and very use full in critical
Thanks for the video, at least we learned two ways of how not to do it.
How should you do it then?
+Chuck Norris ,
personally, I'd use an extractors...
(if by chance, they don't work)
I would dis-assemble the lock,
push out with a wire.
so as take no chance of damage.

(if was an installed lock)
just put a little tiny bit of superglue on it put it back and pull it slowly
Thanks for this video, big help. We use the scissor to remove the half of the key.

Powerful neodymium magnet solves this problem in 2 seconds
Guido Fawkes where do I get one?
Guido Fawkes wrong keys are made of brass not steel
Neodymium magnet, I do not know how you are, in Russia they are sold at every corner, look for Ali
No just like coins, keys aren't magnetic.
Just use the sharp pointed end of a pocket knife blade. The sharp point will get into the tight space better and grip the broken key very effectively.
how the hell am i suppose to use the tools when it is locked inside the garage or inside the house locked by that lock.. 😲
Turn the lock, it will magically unlock.
If there will be a needle nailed from outside? Is it possible to remove? In a situation when the lock is in a door.
So I'm aggravated because my key is broken in the door and that music just tripled my anxiety way up! I really wanted to see how you got the key out but I just couldn't handle that music
