To get a broken key out of the door lock, first spray the lock with a small amount of lubricant. Then insert a saw blade along the grooved side of the key and pull it back towards you. Keep doing this until the key shaft begins to move outwards, then grab a tweezers and pull it out all the way.

IF you know exactly what kind of glue you could possibly do it by soaking the entire lock in a container of that glue's solvent.

Otherwise you would have to take it totally apart, including the tumblers and springs and get the hardened glue out with tweezers and blades. -Either way, it's possibly cheaper to just get a new lock !

I had the same problem once and I took a very small needlenose type pliers and was able to grab part of the key, and not only remove it but turn the ley in the lock as well.
