Question for dwarvish types. Need help. School was trashing a good filing cabinet. I needed it. Trouble with it was that it's locked and no one has the key. I tried to pick the lock to no avail. But, I oughtta be able to get this thing out. I don't need the lock. I can destroy it... but I don't want to destroy it and the cabinet still be locked. Any recommendations? Don't want to call a locksmith for this little thing either.
Oh, I tried a lot of keys.

I called a friend he is a locksmith here in Waco and HE said the "ghetto way" to get in since you don't want to pay a locksmith is:
Take a drill and drill about 1/8 of inch above the lock so that you have access to the inside of the lock then take a screw driver and turn the lock mechanism inside. Now if is a lock that pops out when you turn the key....that is a different story.

Tip it on it's side and disconnect from underneath may work.
