JesseRaymond 0 Report post Posted February 19, 2013 I recently had the unfortunate event of snapping my car key in the lock, I have a spare key but the remainder is still stuck in there. In the mean time i am using the boot to unlock the car (which gets alot of funny looks :/) Has anyone had the same problem ? I talked to accurate lock smiths and they charge $100 an hour and said its quite a specialist job. Before forking out to get the key removed i'd just like to hear your opinions. Is there someway i could get it out myself ? Cheers, Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Pull carefully. If it doesnt work, try bending the paperclip 90 degrees so you have a little more surface area to glue .. again dont glue the key in the barrel!
