Oh, I should add that the bottom half of the key is stuck inside the lock mechanism itself.
PS. Darkmother: I saw you go by Yonge/Eglinton twice this afternoon. I was in Starbucks there.
If you take the lock and remaining keys to a locksmith they can get the busted piece of key out for you. What are you lubing the mechanism with? Only use graphite powder to lube ...wet lubes attract dirt and grit inside the tumblers.
