Quick answers
Should I try super glue to pull it out?
No. Glue often jams the lock and turns a small job into a new lock.
Can you make a key from the broken piece?
On many locks, yes. Keep both pieces for the technician.
Can you get it out without damaging the lock?
Usually, yes. Extractor tools pull it out. Drilling is a last resort and only with your OK.
Why did my key break in the lock?
Usually an old or bent key, or a stiff lock. Fixing the lock stops it from happening again.
