Male, 46
I've been a locksmith since 1998. I did automotive residential & commercial work from 1998 to 2008. From 2008 to 2018, I did some residential, but mostly commercial work. I have been project managing & estimating since 2018. I used to locksmith in the Chicago area, now the Austin area.
Wish I could help, but I haven’t worked on cars in 15 years. However, usually car keys are a lot more complicated than just swapping out a cylinder. Usually there is programming that needs to be done. My guess is you still need to take your car to the dealer, or call a locksmith to come out & program your vehicle.
Share Answer: 
No and no. You will have to get a locksmith to come out.
Share Answer: 
Yes you can. A locksmith has special tools to pull that broken key out without damaging the function of the lock in most cases.

Are professors really subject to the "Publish or Perish" policy?
Unfortunately I am not sure what part you’re talking about. I am not familiar with a threaded sleeve in a Medeco lock; but as long as you have all of the internals springs & pins you should be fine.
Share Answer: 
Take it to a locksmith & they can pull it out for you. Should be very inexpensive.
Share Answer: 
You can install a latch guard to cover the gap between the jamb and the door. Or, if the lock is installed and adjusted correctly, you can’t pull the latch back. It’s designed to lock the latch in the extended position. https://youtu.be/x0Rl_j-xJhY?si=3paMiQhzjrwwkxnE
