This has instantaneously become one of my favorite TH-cam videos of all time. It demonstrates what the internet can be at it's best. I had a key break off in the lock and I had no idea what to do. I was thinking it was going to be a $275 visit from a locksmith. Bill get's right down to business with a litany of professional and DIY solutions. I stopped midway because I already had heard 3 different methods I could attempt. It worked and the key was out. I then went back and watched the rest of it just so I could be amazed at the myriad clever and ingenious fixes that were employed by this entertaining and informative host.
Exactly ...... same here...except i stopped at the first method and it worked right ....what a fantastic video.
I’m so
Amazing. Had a key that broke so deep into the lock for weeks and I really didn't want to have to call someone out. The screw method worked so well after the other failed. Thank you

WD-40. It's a spray to lubricate and protect metals.
Proper quality. Thank you. Straight to the point. Tons of experience all boiled down. Added value to fellow humans
I cannot thank you enough for this!! I didn't have the other items, so I used my small kitchen knife and to my surprise it worked really well. This was such a life-saver
This video is phenomenal. It’s 10 at night with a broken key in my room and was locked out. I was working on it for hours with tweezers etc.Nothing worked watched this video and boom broken key was out. I was so ecstatic because the next stop was target for a needle nose pliers. I used the knife method. Thank you So much have a great weekend, holiday and life. Good video.
Really appreciate this! Ordered the little kit from Amazon because none of our local stores had it and came overnight. TOTALLY worked!!
what link did you use? his link isn't working anymore
Thank you sooo much, Bill. Back door key snapped in lock today. You're amazing & have saved the day. So grateful to you. :-)
Your hacksaw method saved me £60 locksmith bill! The available space was tiny, so I cut the hacksaw blade just under the teeth, and hand sanded the sides to make it as thin as possible.
Thanks mate- very much appreciated! Cheers!
I have also found success and removed a broken key from my front door , thanks for the advice saved a lot of time , money and ear ache haha
Straight to the point, concise and effective! best video out there on this. Thanks

Thank you, the two knife method with WD40 worked perfect.
Thank you! You saved the night and few hundred dollars for us!
You, sir, are a gentleman and a scholar. I've had a key stuck in my back door lock for a year and half before I found your video. The tweezers didn't work, and the knives didn't work, but the screw method got it. Thank you!
Thank you! Broke the key off in the trunk this morning. Didn't use any of the tools you did but had some tools I used for the computer which worked perfectly. Just had to understand the concept which you demonstrated perfectly.
Thanks for making thus informative video! It helped save my son however much a locksmith would have changed for his snapped off key! The double knife method worked for us.
This Worked!! I ask a neighbor for help, he said nawww it's in too deep. I prayed and found you, the rest is history. I had to Subscribed, thank you.🤓
Excellent video. Saved me replacing the entire lock and a locksmith fee.
excellent. smart and respectful of viewer's patience. I Highly recommend you.😊🎉
Gawd I love TH-cam. Thank you sir!
Awesome hack! Did exactly what you did for the broken key stuck in keyhole. It came out in a trice. Thank you so much!
I somehow hulked out on my apartment key and broke it- the two-knife method worked! Thank you for saving me money/an call to our property manager!
Thank you, after watching this tutorial I successfully retrieved my broken key from my front door lock.
What a champ! Well done Bill. Got my key out that was stuck for over a year.
Thanks for the Video. No tip worked for me but it encouraged me to try. For me a bent staple pin worked!
You my dear man just saved me with this video! Thank you so much for sharing your knowledge with the rest of us dumskeys who would’ve paid big bucks for a professional to do what you just showed me! I am so excited to go remove a key now!
You are a legend!!! The fish hook did it in the end. Thank you so much🙏🏼
I'm glad I found this video. Through a combination of the different techniques I was able to remove the key. Thank you.
Thank you so much.
The 2 knives and pliers and patience worked and saved me calling out a locksmith 😀
Absolutely brilliant!!! Bill, thank you, thank you, thank you. During my move, the small key safe key broke in the lock. I thought I was going to have to toss out the safe. I found you and your video. I was prepared to purchase the extractor set and am so glad that I watched the whole video. I used a small awl point in the key and lock space, gently pushed against the key, and pulled. It popped right out. I didn't even need the WD-40. I can't wait to watch your other videos. Thank you, again!!!
Thank you so much, this really helped us! My son broke the key in the doorlock and we managed to get it out with the tips in this video.
The double knife trick worked for me! Thank you so much!!
Perfect remedies. All tools used were just as simple and available in every house needs. love it. Saves possible waist of times and money. Thank you more blessings upon you.
WD-40 and tweezers worked like a champ! Didn't know what on earth I was going to do, except call a locksmith, so thank you SO much for sharing your knowledge. THIS is why I love the internet!!!
Thanks Bill, my neighbor had broken off their key deep inside their entry door lock. I took your hacksaw blade idea and scaled it down to a scroll saw blade (very narrow profile), bent the side I was holding to a 90 bend, the blade slipped in beside the broken key and lock with a little wiggling, turned the bent side of the blade I was holding toward the broken key and genty pully until I could feel the blade grabbing, gave a tiny pop and the piece came right out. Thanks again, very helpful :-)
Thank you! Knife and tweezers did it! Last problem I needed, especially on the windows of a rented house! 🙂
Excellent fix video!!! The sharp knife was the ticket. Thought the lock was gone. Thank you!
So many great ideas! Thanks for making the video! Gotta try some on the very stubborn key broken off in my car's trunk keyhole.
Thank you from the bottom of my heart to teach these tricks. The knife one worked for me...
You saved the day with this one! Thx
"If possible" lightly put that coping saw blade on a low speed grinding wheel. Made mine really thin, real narrow but it retained its tinsel strength. Pulled out a few keys at work that way.
Great video, you gave me a couple other good ideas. 👍
A wonderful guide and help. Thank you very much. Had a broken key in my filing cabinet and did not know how to fix it. Your video was wonderful.
Glad I could help 👍 thank you
Thank you so much for video. Very helpful as I was able to use a household item accompanied with your instructions to get the job done. Cheers!
Life saver. Managed to get it out with a single knife. Thanks for the help! X
Me too!!! I was panicking
Wow that’s amazing!
I watch this video for 30sec I went and tried it with knife and baby oil, Praise God it came right out.
Thank you for that great creativity!
After watching this video, it took me 30 seconds to remove the broken piece from the key hole. Thank you for great instructions.
This video saved me! I had a broken key in a tiny filing cabinet lock that was almost flush with the lock. I couldn't get the tweezer trick to work but I found a tiny enough screw that fit. I couldn't believe my eyes when it popped out. 😁 Awesome video! Thanks for taking the time to make it!
You’re very welcome 👍
Many thanks for a great video - saved us a serious expense on a Sunday. After watching your video we used a scroll saw blade which totally worked a charm. 🤜🏻🤛🏻
Thank you so much this really help me without you I couldn't have done this❤
Thank you! This video is 5 years ago and still helps! Thankk youuuuuu!!!!!
You’re welcome 👍👍👍
Mr. Bill Fish hook did it
BEST PRACTICAL EDUCATIONAL VIDEO EVER !
THANK YOU FOR SHARING YOUR LIFE KNOWLEDGE
You are brilliant ! My friend realized to take broken key just following your wise tricks. She is absolutely happy . She saves money to pay the expert. Thanks you so much for your help. God bless you!
Don’t usually comment on videos but you have saved the day sir. Bravo.
👍👍👍
The two knifes together method worked for me, thanks!
I used 2 knives and managed to remove a broken key that was lodged in quite deep, and I didn’t even need WD40! Thank you very much for the video you’re a saviour!
This video is extremely useful. Thank you!
Thanks a lot buddy you saved us $120 the knife trick worked a charm
Thank you. You are clever. My 11-year-old son managed to take the broken key out of my window keyhole by watching your video by using the knife strategy under my supervision. We do appreciate you making this video.
Bro you’re a life saver, thank you 🙏. Went with the knife option, worked a treat.
Thanks, just helped me remove broken key from my conservatory door here in the UK, much appreciated!.
Glad it helped
Just tried this and I would like to say thank you, save me a lot of hassle. I tried the tweezer method and it worked.
Fantastic. The knives worked for me. Also helped as it was a door lock, that I put the key in the good side. Saved me a fortune there! Thanks
You just saved me $150! THANK YOU!!
Very informative video,. my only comment though is the broken key part youre extracting is almost flush to the lock face. If the key part is smaller and broken further into the lock your options of removal are much more limited since youre working in the dark so to speak. If you have the opportunity could you please do another video to explain how you would get the broken part out if its smaller, further in and cant be seen ?
The same way, just be more patient
a droplet of supergue on a piece of wire, precisely positioned onto the key shaft, being careful not to touch the sides of the keyway.
I had my doubts on the knife trick, but it did work! Thank you for the tips and tricks.
This trick works. This guy knows what he's talking about. I bought my tool kit from Amazon last night and just got it delivered. Went to Walmart and got a small 3oz WD-40 and 5 minutes later the key was out. OMG!! I was going to call a lock Smith last week until I ran across this video. Less than $15 and 5 minutes of my time saved me $350 charge from locksmith. He probably would of try to sell me a whole new lock with the door. Lol. Thanks so much
Thanks for the picking device tip. I extracted the broken key by fashioning a small-wire gauge paperclip with a tiny 90° hook bend at the end!
This video was VERY VERY HELPFUL!!🙏🏾🙏🏾
Hi Bill your video and technical advise on my problem inspired me....I grabbed a long shaft fish hook and straightened it ! With the small barb it did the job easily . Thanks mate just awesome.
Thank you so much! I was so worried as to how much it would cost to get a locksmith out. The knives worked for me! You are a life saver!!!
👍👍👍
Oh my goodness! Thank you! My key broke off and licked me out of the house... In the heat of summer!! The screw trick worked! Took a few tries (no WD-40 handy) but it finally worked! Thank you!!!! ❤
Yes!! Thank you!! Tweezers wouldn't grab so i used toenail clippers to grab it. Just...and i got it out. Very relieved.
Thanks for the assist. I have really bad luck with locks and keys. You help me out so much.
Thank you for saving my life - my key snapped inside my motorbike lock for the seat. TRied many of your methods. In the end used wd40, very pointed knife and my wife's tweezers. Success ! Now I have oiled the lock again. Spare key works perfectly - seat unlocks! wooohooo!
You’re welcome 👍
Just right now the two knives actually worked thank you so much
Bravo to this video, highly informative, good DIY methods- using the screw method I was able to remove the broken key
Awesome advice. The screw and pliers worked a treat
This looks great. Hope it works. Best vid I’ve seen so far on the subject. If you’re in Oz, sending love to a country I fell in love with 30 years ago.
Thank you so much. I used a knife to get the broken key out far enough to grab it with needle nose pliers. Great advice!
Pliers and screw worked great, THANK YOU!!!
Thank you for your video, I just removed a broken key using the two knives.
Just used the two knife trick can't believe how easy it popped out thanks a lot 👍
You just saved me a Sunday locksmith call out!! Thank you.
You’re welcome 👍
Hi, Bill one simple method to remove a broken key is using a cheap spring steel wire keyring by using pliers to nip one side of the keyring and straighten for 15mm at the end of straight pice can now be used to hook in between keyway and lock profile and draw out broken key. Keep up the great work Bill very informative Lex.
Just removed a broken key from a car door using a coping saw blade... Worked w wonderfully
Great video, straight to the point, no BS and lots of great ways to do it ,,, "But" what if the key broke in half , and the other half all the way in the key slot? ..."Please help" " thank you. You guys are the best.
You just saved me a locksmith bill. Thanks so much.
I'm so glad I found your site. I'm trying it tomorrow. Letting everyone know thank you so much 😎😎😁
Omg thank you! I called a couple locksmiths who wanted to charge $100-$200. I used your knife trick. Took me 3 seconds and cost me nothing! You are my hero!!!
You’re very welcome 👍
Thank you for the idea and guidance! Alternatively, I used 2 baby pins to pull out the broken key from my sliding door!
Broke a key today. Will try these tomorrow when its day. Hopefully one of the household items will work 🙏
My key is way deeper than that🥲
Thank you so much, just got my key broken and used your knife method to get it out. I used micro screwdrivers instead of knives, the idea is the same. WD40 was really necessary. Thanks again for great tips.
Great video. I used the small screw method. Worked a treat! 🙌🏻
Whew, this just saved me! Thank you so much, the two knives worked perfectly.🙏🏽
