Remove broken key (round cylinder)

IMPORTANT, the following solution to remove a broken key in the cylinder is a round cylinder (in this case from BKS)

Tonight, the key in the front door of my parents broke off, of course not so that even a piece rauskuckte, you hardly saw him anymore .. I was not to blame it was one of those "soft" key. So, then parents hacked out of bed, they had the problem ever and then I could tell how once the cylinder is taken out of the door or taken apart. This had to be because at the time I did not know the jigsaw saw blade trick, and I find that after we found out how it worked, it was very simple.

So, on the inside of the door, turn key until a hole is visible in the slot, then there a "strong" paper clip or similar. poke it in, do not fumble and do not be scared if it orients itself diagonally upwards, that's right, then press a little harder and at the same time pull the cylinder towards you. Then pull out the other side as well. On the inside, where the key is, a small pin with 2 slotted screws is fixed on the inside. Loosen the 2 screws, remove the pin and open the cylinder with the same paper clip, you can now reschedule your broken key again, assemble, assemble ready, and no longer use soft keys.

I did not take pictures at the time because I was too nervous and annoyed. If I can upload which later, come in any case.
