Hi me again yet more problems lol

ok well I have a 1997 hyundai coupe and it has a manual key entry, today the key snapped of in the car door lock and is stuck inside the lock where I cant grasp it or get to it.

Ive got the AA coming over tomorrow morning to get the piece out of the lock
can anyone tell me if I can glue the end metal half to the half I have? using some glue
I really dont want to fork out for another key...? if so what glue?

a drop of superglue on the broken part sometimes works.
You can get a key cut from the pieces .. probably.
the key would have lost its strength and would probably snap off again.
.. yes ... but sometimes enough to get the bit out of the lock : )
That saves stripping the door, trim and lock out.
