Expert Tips for Removing a Broken Key from a Lock

A modern digital door lock system mounted on a light beige wall. The lock has a sleek black and silver design with a digital keypad display. The keypad shows blue illuminated numbers 0-9 arranged in a standard telephone layout. The "Yale" brand logo is in white text at the top of the keypad. The lock features a brushed silver lever handle mounted on a matching silver door preparation. The keypad display is rectangular and housed in a brushed metal casing with rounded edges. The wall behind the lock shows some minor discoloration and wear marks. The image is taken at a slight angle, showing the full length of the lever handle from the lock body to the door surface.

We’ve all been there. One second, you’re turning your key like a responsible adult, and the next—snap—half of it is laughing at you from inside the lock. Cue the internal screaming. But before you start googling “locksmith near me” in a panic (though we do love that phrase), take a deep breath. Let’s walk through how to handle this mess like a pro. And hey, if things go sideways, our team at Lockology Locksmith in Oakland has your back. We’ve seen it all—from snapped car keys in Concord to high-security Mul-T-Lock disasters in Walnut Creek.
