I too have worked on locked cases. Depande on where the lock located and how the
lock works, sometimes it is possible to use a strong, flat, and small
screwdriver to break the lock from side or buttom. The case lock is not strong,
it is not hard to break it if spend some time to look around. I broke a locked
case with a knife two weeks ago.
