Broken Key
My key broke off in half inside of my driver side door yesterday. Now I must get in through the passenger side. Is there a way to remove that with a special tool or getting a locksmith or chalking it up to damage control. It is a 91 so I do not have auto locks or keyless entry. Please help?

Well.. If you can see the broken end of the key in there you might try a hair pin with a touch of quick set JB Weld on it. Prop the little gate open with a toothpick, hold the pin on it long enough to stick tight and it may get it out for you.
I've never done this, but I would really like to see someone try it.
Hope this helps,
Bob

Of course, you didn't specific a 1991 *what*.
On many cars (like my T-Bird), the lock is held in place by a spring clip that slides through a slot in the door jamb. Open the door, pry the clip out, and the whole lock falls into my hand. 2-minute job. Yours may be different.
