Key Broken Inside Switch – Extraction and Solution with Certified Locksmith in Puerto Rico
What to do if the key breaks inside the ignition?
When a key breaks inside the ignition switch, the vehicle becomes unusable. As a Certified Locksmith in Puerto Rico , I know this problem requires professional extraction to avoid damaging the cylinder.

Do not try to remove it with household tools.
Tweezers or needles can push the piece further in and worsen the problem.
Avoid turning or forcing the switch.
This can damage the ignition cylinder and increase the cost of repair.
