Locksmiths have a tool that is basically a hooked piece of thin wire.
I had a broken key in the lock that i had to remove so i used a very thin piece of wire and made a small 90 degree bend in it. The idea is to slide the wire (hooked end) along the key and get to the end of the key and get the bent end of the wire hooking the tip of the key. Then simply pull the broken end of the key out. In effect you are using a small,long fishhook to get the key out.
Use a pair of pliars to bend the wire. Remember that the wire has to be thin and fairly strong. Coat hanger and bailing wire is much too thick.
While breaking the lock, if the lock was damaged then you may have to replace the lock. The key may be jammed in too tightly.
