You're staring at the stub of a rusted key snapped off inside the front door lock, the rest of it still stuck in the deadbolt. After trying needle-nose pliers and a tiny screwdriver, you finally use a thin piece of strong metal—a broken key extractor—to wiggle the fragment free. It takes patience and a steady hand, but once the broken piece slides out, you breathe a sigh of relief, knowing you won't have to call a locksmith after all.
