  • @sanderspaargarencatch-alla51
    @sanderspaargarencatch-alla51 7 ปีที่แล้ว +10

    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.

  • @victorrobison5069
    @victorrobison5069 7 ปีที่แล้ว +6

    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.

    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.

    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?

    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. :)
