Broken Keys

It's not unusual for keys to break after just a few years. If the key breaks inside the lock, you'll have to replace it. But if the remainder of the key is still in good shape you might be able to fix it.

A paperclip can hold the broken piece on both sides and force it out. If the broken piece isn't stuck too far inside the lock, you can try using pliers.
