I have a "Jimmy resistant" Taylor deadbolt lock that I have been using for years on one of my doors. It has sometimes been tough to open and close and I used graphite last year which helped and I just hadn't gotten around to redoing it this year. When I used the key to open it last night however, I noticed that the key had partially broken over the portion beyond the lock. The tare was quite bad, about halfway across the key width and I thought I would try and solder the sections. It seemed to solder, but when I tried to use it again, the key handle broke off leaving the remainder in the lock. I have two questions:
1) Is it possible to extract the broken section from the lock and, if so, how?2) Is it possible to get a replacement key somewhere? I doubt anything could be made from this broken one now.
Thank you.
