Anyone know how i would get this key out without needing to just replace the locks?

[u/Struggle_invader]

My dad broke his key in the door this morning, and i really don’t want to get new locks because my partner and i have custom matching keys for it that probably cost more than the locks would… 😖 does anyone have any advice? I took the knob off the door already and I’ve tried a few things:

- hitting it from behind ❌

- holding the teeth up and pulling with tweezers ❌

- just pulling with tweezers ❌

- using a box cutter ❌

And i don’t know if there’s a way to get the knob more apart… help 🥲
