The case is locked, the key is snapped (about 1cm of it inside, so not enough to be able to jimmy it open), and the barrel is twisted slightly - thus not aligned so I can't get the key out.
Does anyone know how to either get into the case otherwise of the lock, or know how to SAFELY drill out the existing lock? A replacement is £10 with two keys.
I'm tempted to take it to a locksmith but money is beyond tight, my mother and myself are currently in-out-in-out of hospital and I literally have no wage or sick pay coming for another 4 weeks.
Dunno what else to do :\ Need to get into it because both my chain, disk lock, and other shit's in, and I use it for the food shopping... Which is needed to do, like, yesterday.
Suggestions? I'm legit not wanting to do anything at all risky, it's a £200 box.

Is the back of the lock viewable from the inside? If so you could drill it out. I think it's that or the locksmith.
Check how much a replacement lock is or it will be bunjees!
I hear the keys are notorious for being shit,,,once fixed get a decent one made.

I had to drill out a fuel tank lock last year. I worked my way up from small bit to large. It took a while but nothing else was damaged. So, it's possible but it takes patience.  |

I hear the keys are notorious for being shit,,,once fixed get a decent one made. It's beneath a cover inside, aye. barsteward problem is getting the case open to get to the innards to remove the circlip, to replace the barrel. Something about drilling... Just scares me. £200 is a lot to waste if I fcuk it up. Might just give it to my mate who broke it and have him take it to the locksmith, he can barter the price. I had to drill out a fuel tank lock last year. I worked my way up from small bit to large. It took a while but nothing else was damaged. So, it's possible but it takes patience. I have no drill, nor patience, not mechanical sympathy.. It'll come out looking like Swiss cheese if I so much as look at it with a sharp implement  |

I know your panniers are locked so the following will be of limited use but just in case its of use, a rekeying guide: linkNon-fango were bought up by Givi, I believe. Good luck |

If the key is still half in, it will still be pushing the tumblers into open mode, put the remnants of the key in and try jiggling it open, with a firm wiggle and violent jiggle it could open..
next a decent screwdriver push it in and force the lock into the opening direction as you push the lid with force in opposite direction, its plastic and should buckle a bit, but bounce straight back.
Hopefully this will work, if not locksmith im afraid. You`ve just said it was £200, that will stop you being aggressive towards it, as its a lot of cash. Let a mate do it, without you being there.

Technically this is all my fault but the key must have been extremely weakened cause I didn't even notice it snap.
Either way I'll be the one forking out for repairs/replacment. So my question would be how much would a locksmith charge to get the snapped half of the key out? Cause the same happened to a lock on one of my cars and timpsons were still able to cut a new key from the two halfs.
