My key has snapped in my car door and a piece is left in the lock which is not visible.

Does anyone know who can deal with this . Would guess at a locksmith but thinking a garage might be better as i suppose the panel will have to be removed etc.

hoping someone can help.

many thanks.

Try Ziggy , his garage is in Alsancak . Take the turning that takes you to the Merit Crystal Cove Hotel his garage is a couple of hundred yards down on the right . Good luck .

try putting some double side tape on the end of your key push into lock and gently pull out,it worked for me in a household lock

ziggy came highly recommended but as i was in girne i went into a locksmiths and asked him.

took my car there and he had a tool which removed it. cost of this and new key was 40tl.

relieved to say the least. thankfully it was the door and not the ignition.

many thanks for all your help
