When a key snaps off inside your lock with the stomach-shivering snap, feelings of dread and helplessness descend on you. But before you give up you can take a deep breath and keep in mind that it's not impossible to retrieve your key. If you're lucky enough, there might still be a bit of the broken piece left that you can grab it with a pair of needle nose pliers. If not, tweezers will work just as well (just be careful not to accidentally push the broken edge farther into the lock).
A great technique is to use a bottle of WD-40(r), Smart Straw with the smart nozzle to direct the spray into the keyhole. This can allow the broken piece move out, and also break any binds that are holding it in place. Try wriggling it up and down or in and out, to let it loose from whatever is causing it to become stuck.
There are a variety of other ways that people have tried, including using a paperclip to hold the broken piece from both sides and then push it out. You could also try using a drill bit. Just make sure to drill the hole on the exposed side of the broken key, not the lock.
