Help. The taps broken!!!!!!!!!
Was fitting the door locks. Had drilled the holes and was tapping the thread when the tap broke off, deep in the hole. I've tried everything to get that little bugger out from trying to drill it out (the taps far harder than the drill), trying to ram it out with a centre punch and BIG hammer to trying to cut a slit in the top of the broken tap so I could screw it out. (the tap is so hard that I can't even scratch its head). Unfortunately, she aint budging.
My final idea is to get a new door. 
Can any one come up with a better solution than my last option PLEASE?
