If your key breaks in the lock, you can try using tweezers or needle-nose pliers to carefully remove the broken piece. If that doesn't work, you may need to call a locksmith to help you remove the broken key and possibly make a new one. Avoid using excessive force as it could damage the lock further.

How do you remove the key cylinder on a 2001 Mercury Cougar if the key broke off in the cylinder?

Dis-connect the battery first. There should be a hole in the bottom of the steering column, underneath the lock. If you can get a small screwdriver, or punch, and push in on the release button for the lock, while the lock is in the "run" position. You should be able to pull the lock out of the cylinder. If the part of the key shank is not too badly damage, you can then work it out of the lock, and it will be re-useable. Use some graphite and and the spare key to work the lock before putting it back in. If the key shank is too mangled, then you can get another lock from the parts store for about $15.00. Just to clarify...on the 2001 the hole is in the top of the cylider barrel and the key will have to be turned to the first notch. If it is fully engaged, it will not release the cylinder. Remove the lower column cover first by removing the three screws that hold it the bottom cover in place.

Car key broke off in door how do you fix the lock?

If your car key broke off in the door lock, start by carefully removing the broken piece. Use needle-nose pliers or a key extractor tool to pull it out without pushing it further in. Avoid using the lock until the broken key is removed. Once out, test the lock with a spare key. If the lock feels stiff or damaged, apply lubricant or call a locksmith to inspect it. For deeper damage or if extraction fails, professional repair or replacement of the lock cylinder may be necessary. Acting quickly can prevent further issues and keep your vehicle secure.
