It is not hard, our locksmiths do it on a daily basis. There are two locksmith methods to getting a broken key out of a lock, try a very thin pair of tweezers and work the key back and forth. The second way is two use a really small flat head screwdriver and a hairpin. Take the hairpin and insert it into the lock, push all the way up to the top so that the pins in the cylinder will not get in the way. Then take the screwdriver and and fit it into the side of the broken key. Then pry the key out. Hope this helps.

How do you remove a broken key in a car trunk lock?

Before the key will come out of the lock. The Keyway should be in the vertical position, the same position it was in when the key was put into the lock. Caution: Be very careful not to damage the dust shutter door at the entrance to the keyway. It is held in place by a small hinge pin and spring. If it breaks, remove the parts from the keyway. Locksmiths: Have experience and tools for broken key removal. AAA Automobile Club locksmiths, may be a good choice.
