drove my car home and as i locked the car the end of the key has snapped inside the door lock 
Ive been trying for the last hour trying to pull the snapped end peice out with.....
- tweezers
- magnetic screwdriver
-touching a magnat on a peice of metal and trying to pull the snapped bit out....
nothing seems to be working....
do u think i can manage to get it out? any tips or will i be looking at buying a new igniton barrel and a set of new locks?
Thanks

do you have a spare key?
if so open the other side
open the door with the key in
remove the lock
and take to a locksmith.
all will be well if you havent damaged the lock by trying to remove old half of key

its just a basic 1.2 8v 1994 swing corsa.
I did use the spare (looks like a cheap cut version of the origional key i have) that broke....
i still have the origional thank god.
How easy will it be for my boyfriend then to remove the lock out of a scale of 10 
Do you know how much they charge?
Im friendly with a locksmith (works next door to me) i might ask him prehaps he has something to suck it out?
