I broke my car key off in the door and don't live close to any locksmiths?
Question by twiggysrevenge:
I cannot access the car at all from the inside and have no clue of how to go about getting the broken key out so I can use the spare to access my car. I don't live anywhere near a locksmith so the obvious is out of the question lol.
The keys only work for the driver's side door and the eginition, nothing else.

Good luck lol, maybe you can call one that you find in the super pages, they might go to your place. I think, lol. like I said good luck!
Car dealership? Sometimes also tow-truck services can help as well. Make some phone calls, ask around.
did the key break off cleanly in the lock? if there is a little bit sticking out you can use needle nosed pliers or tweezers to get a good grip on it and pull the broken piece out, if that doesn't work, use your spare key to open the passenger side door and crawl over to the drivers side and drive to a locksmith
unlock your other door.
wiggle pin or something to loosen it,and get a really srong magnet.
break in with a hanger or find someone who can.
break the window.
call a locksmith and get advice,they do house calls.
Just keep a flathead screwdriver in your pocket and open the door with that. Just jam it into the key hole and turn. No need for a lock smith. You can also try using a pin vise from a tool store or a really sharp tipped object that will bite into the soft broken key and pull it out of the hole.
Use a magnet, you might have trouble but jiggling it around should get it out. Tow trucks usually have the solution as well, you might want to tell them your situation before they show up just in case
Get it towed to the dealer – and fix your locks. The key should open both doors. Or call AAA to jimmy the door open, and drive straight to the dealer. There is no easy way to get the broken part of the key out without completely dismantling the lock. Any other method is taking a chance of ruining your lock permanently.
