I just now met another Neighbor Lady,,Jen knocked on My door and said
She
broke Her key off in the front door..I grabbed a few tools and went to
help..I could'nt get hold of the broken part of the key with My
needlenose pliers and She wanted to just kick it in! I had one more
idea tho and picked up the small prybar I had brought with,,stuck it
between the door and jam right by the knob and pried against the jam
pushing the door one way and the jam the other way,,the door popped
open and just a dent in the wooden jam/doorstop for damage..She
unlocked it
from inside and I asked Her to test it to see if it still latched,,it
did so no more adjustments needed by Me..She and Her Boyfriend can
work on gettin the old key out or replacing the entry set with
new..That's My good deed for the day..
I shoulda told Her to get a deadbolt,,it's too easy to gain entry
there..

Are you sure the lady actually still lived there? And that it wasn't the
BF's house, and she was the ex, and the locks had been changed on her? Such
things are not unknown, and it would be awful hard to explain your
participation to a black-and-white that rolled up on the scene.

I installed a security system for a guy many years ago whose sister had let
in some guys who said they were there to move some furniture for her
brother. Then she went to work. They cleaned out his house. they never
found any of it. boy did she feel dumb.

sounds like a scam.

Understood and TY Guys..
If a Sherriff shows up I'll hand Em the tools and My Hikers so They
have the evidence to convict Me for helping a neighbor in need,,there's
a plain set of My tracks over and back!!I'll just tell Em what happened
if it comes up and let the chips fall where they may..The black n white
would have to be a white n gold Deputy Sherriff cause this town is too
small to have a police force..I get what Yer All sayin tho and
thanks..It's usually pretty mellow here..When I crank-up the old Bose
901s I'm about as loud as this town gets!! except for the one and only
bar accross the street occasionally.. On the few occasions when I
thought something was stolen I found it right where I left it later
on,,,all except one small compressor but I might have left that on the
jobsite,,I just dunno..My stuff being borrowed and not returned
tho,,THAT'S another story lately!!
Speaking of the 901s does anyone have a set of the same for sale? I
need two more for the back channels! Gotta make My classic rock(top
tracks DTV)reeeelly shine sometimes!

If you were concerned about her welfare, you'd have done it right. She
could have gotten cold out there. Invite her in to your place to take the
chill off. Open a bottle of wine so she can relax from the stress of this
ordeal. Pull the curtains closed so bright light would not cause her a
headache, may be rub her shoulders to relieve the stress.

Carry on with your good deed.

For future use, when you break a key off in a lock, you should test
whether inserting the rest of the key operates the lock. Learned this
from a lock smith.

You should have brought a hack saw blade.

Funny thing, I had to help a neighbor brake into her home a few days
ago. Her 2 year old was inside and had locked the glass storm door when she
had gone out to get the mail. As it turned out the method you used was the
one that worked the easiest and least damage in that case.

I doubt if anyone intending on breaking in would go to a neighbor to get
help. After all that just attracts attention to something going on. If
they are into house breaking, they would have brought their own tools.

Ex GF 2 years ago had a 2 year old girl,,,cute as hell but a true

then,,Frankie Blue Eyes(girls nickname)would lock us out because She
was mad that She could'nt be with Us,,had to knock on My own door for
one of Her older kids to let Us in!!Every hour or so!! Eventually I
turned the knobs around so the lock mech was toward the porch!! Used to
get comments on that!! Heh heh,never did get locked IN!! I have a
deadbolt so could still lock-up when not home..

To make a broken key extractor take a thin hacksaw blade like the ones
that go in the 6" wire frames and break it in half. Holding the pin
end choose the half that has the teeth pointing towards the pin end and
grind away a good portion of the back. The remaining part with the
teeth will snag the key and allow you to extract it.
Sometimes there is just enough luck that putting the handle end of the
key in the lock with the broken piece will allow you to gain entry
before removing the piece.

Tsk Tsk...........I would say you were probably petting the wrong " P "
..........also........never bring ' Boxed wine " to a hot brunettes
house.

Good idea,,I'd probably shove the extractor in too far and then have it
broken off with the key..I see the BFs car over there today,,maybe He's
fixing it..It looked fairly old,,If it was Mine I'd be tempted to
remove it and pound it upside down on the road till the busted key fell
out!!All the while hoping it would break and I could justify a new
set..I thought of trying My pocket knife tip to snag it and pry it out
but I have'nt been carrying it cause the corkscrew loosened up and
wo'nt stay closed,,tooo dangerous to put in My pocket!!Thanks for the
extractor idea tho,,I'm gonna cut/paste it to My Familys' groupsite.

With that thought, and the copius amount of plumbing advice found on

Since he pleasured her ****,
With the first load he shot,

I had one like that.
I took a couple of nails and crossed them with their points at top and

The key portion still had to come out, but the door got opened.
