My mom lost the key to a little photochest.
Any tips on how to open it without destroying it?
It's an old style lock with a pin in the middle for the base of the key. Looked at some lockpicking stuff but can't find anything for this particular style.
I can 3d print if that's one of the solutions.

Bend a tip of wire to 90 degrees and rotate in keyhole. Some trial an err needed to find right lenght of the tip.
It's a useless fucking box, smash it.

kek, too late for good advice

you could maybe have just driven the hinge pins out with a pin punch, depending on the locking mechanism
