Remove a broken key from a lock

[ziyon123]

I used a knife and toe nail clippers to get it out

[Geoffr524]

I ended up using a sharp pointy knife, to pry out the key enough, for the needle-nose pliers to grab onto the broken key, then it came right out.

[tomi1988]

I just made one out of a paper clip and it worked.

[valentass88]

and we paid 60$ for an expert to pull it off

[citic101]

thats great

[islndaze]

Ok that's great, but umm...not many people carry that, so make a video using something common around your household so we could use

[RIDRz9]

i broke my key off in the front door and i managed to get it out using the curved point of a thin file i found in my cupboards. it was my last ditch attempt before having to get a locksmith :) haha saved some cash there

I make this from a fine hacksaw blade, flat cut works best.

Just look at what is presented and your hacksaw blade and cut.

A hacksaw blade will yield at least 5 of the things, 7 to 9 if you are careful.

@anamu7tram ... he is a Scot....like from Scotland!

[paulsummerz]

Perfect!

[peanutlikesbeans]

I did it with a jig saw blade.. Not exactly a tool of the trade, but I got it out about as fast as you did :) Great video. Really saves the 40 bucks a smith would charge.

[dastarstar]

i used a safety pin and bent it at the tip as i could not find a paper clip and this saved the day thanks for your imput very helpful .

[WillBC6996]

This WORKS!!! I used a paper clip with the very tip bent and worked out enough to grab with the needle nose. I'm Oregon, USA and I learned something from the UK, wow, small world. Thank you so much for the video

[wezownz]

thank you man you saved my life! also, for the poor and desperately in need, take something small like a safty pin or a rly small paper clip(i dont reccomend sewing needles because the metal isnt too strong) and useing something heavy like a hammer, flatten the part of the pin/clip your going to stick in the door then use the heavy object to bend the VERY tip of the clip/pin, then pull the key out, good luck mates

[MrMasonian]

This video saved the day for me. Thanks! I work in a medical laboratory, so although I did not have your tool, I made something similar using a long syringe needle where I gently bent the tip backwards using pliers. We can now use our freezer again.

[1955thekeeper]

Sir, that was sweet! I am not a locksmith, but I am the Key Control Officer at a prison unit and I have to face broken off keys almost every week. I am going to make me a hook like you demonstrated from a hacksaw blade. You made the extraction look easier than anything I have ever seen. Thanks for uploading the video. (5) STARS

[dazaessox]

anamu7tram time you got out more and travel the country you live in

[anamu7tram]

[stigmatic79]

[sinfuldavy0]

LOL. First, you need to break a key. The good advice starts at :28. Thanks anyways

[dazaessox]

Rosin yes mate it was a spare key i had on my bench lol

[dazaessox]

glad to help mate

[KoalaBearSecrets]

Thank you! I just got the key out in a few minutes. Your video helped a lot!

I used pliers and made a very tiny bend at the end of a paper clip. It really helps if you have a copy of the key to get an idea of its shape.

thanks again!

[MrWizard344]
