It could also lead to you tearing the lock apart, exposing the cylinders.<\/p>\n<p>You can poke the lock with the sharp object and push the broken key out here. Most of the time, the lock is more aligned with the key cuts, which still allows the key movement in and out. A crew driver can also help pull the head of the key, turning it back into a vertical position.
