Lost Keys to Metal Box

[Gun1]

I lost my keys to one of my metal boxes for one of my NAA minis. Any ideas on how to open it? I tried the 8 other keys that I have, but it doesn't even budge. Not really feeling like paying a locksmith to open it, any suggestions?

Use a lock pick set and watch a couple videos on You Tube from "The Lock Picking Lawyer"

The locks on the NAA boxes can't be very complicated

I don't know about that, it's a good lock with teeth on both edges, called "double bit".

I wouldn't want to damage the lock or box trying to monkey with it. I had a similar situation, heavy file cabinet I got at a thrift store for $10, no keys. Locksmith was $15 to "read" the lock and make three keys. It's full of ammo now.

At least you have a little box to take to the smith, better than my big cabinet.

Even if NAA would sell/send another lock, you can't install it with the box locked ...  ... with shipping the whole box would be about $30.

Just know that if you do damage the lock, we can send you a replacement.

Should be an easy pick job. The trick is not in pin movement so much as in applying the proper amount of turning tension.
