Short answer: A key snapped off in the lock can strand you fast, and a locksmith can extract the piece the same day and cut a fresh key.
A key snapped off in the lock can strand you fast, and a locksmith can extract the piece the same day and cut a fresh key.
Extractor tools pull the broken stub straight out of the keyway. Prying at it with tweezers or glue usually pushes it deeper or damages the lock, turning a quick fix into a lock replacement.
Since keys often break because they are worn, the locksmith cuts a fresh key after extraction so the problem does not repeat the next time you use the lock.
