    Quoted from Neal_W:

    The locks are not that hard to pick. Plenty of info on youtube.

    Picking a single-bitted lock isn't too difficult, however, this is a double-bitted lock, which is more difficult.

    Quoted from Turtle:

    Call on locksmith

    That's too expensive.

    Quoted from Turtle:

    buy a pick kit.

    To add to this--with these locks, you're not really "picking" per say. Pretty much just putting tension on the lock, then raking the pins. So you don't really need a big, expensive kit with a lot of picks. I really use only one or two picks in addition to a tension bar. The last pin is usually the most difficult to reach, since not all the picks are shaped to be able to reach it.

    Quoted from Turtle:

    I wouldn't risk drilling it out and putting all those metal shavings in the backbox.

    You're drilling a lock which is on the outside of the backbox, not the inside. There's no risk of that happening. Just vacuum before you disassemble things.
