How broken car key extraction works
A broken piece is drawn out with thin extractor tools that slide in beside it. On most locks that takes a few minutes and the lock is not harmed. A new key is then cut, usually from the two halves.
Do not push the other half in, and do not use glue. Both drive the piece deeper and can turn a small job into a new ignition.
