Unlock it with a screwdriver. Tap the TOP of the lock being careful not to hit the key.
I'd use a 2lb hammer with either copper or soft alloy drift. I suppose you could use a copper mallet but appreciate you don't want to cause any damage...

Call out yesterday.
Customer had snaped their Yale style key in the Wet Riser cabinet.
The broken key was 2 tumblers in. The key was brass as well.
The stump fitted and with abit of wiggle I got the lock to turn, door open and lock removed.
Leaving the whole key in place. A tap with a hamer, on back of the unit, had the broken part to move to one tumbler in.
Placing the lock over some wood and a good blow on the back had the stump and broken part out.
The keys are stanadrd to this customer, spare supplied and lock re fitted.
Stop via staff canteen and spare BBQ ribs was aquired.
