If your key snapped off in the door or ignition, a locksmith can extract the broken piece without damaging the lock and cut you a fresh working key.
Specialized extractor tools grip and pull the stub out of the keyway cleanly. Trying to dig it out with tweezers or glue often pushes the fragment deeper or scars the wafers, turning a simple extraction into a full cylinder replacement.
Once the fragment is out, the locksmith can cut a new key by code or by decoding the lock, and program it if your vehicle uses a chip. Keys usually break because they are worn, so a fresh key also prevents a repeat.
