Outland security console

[raptor_pilot]

Ok long story short my outland stereo security console is locked with all my stuff in it and I lost the keys. I tried to get a new set from outland but they refused to evenn sell me any. It seems that no locksmith around here will give me a key to get into it (isnt that what I'm paying them for?) and I'm running out of ideas. Its one of those little round keys with a small stud at one point. The ones that dont actually need to be cut. Any idea how to get it open or where those keys are sold? All my isurance/registration stuff is in there. Thanks
Mike

Try picking it. Some of those type can be picked with a bic pen or cardboard.

However:

Tobias said not all axial locks are vulnerable, depending on several factors such as the lock's diameter (to match the pen) and the lock's engineering tolerances.

damn i'm suprised the locksmiths would give you such a hard prob with it.... if all elses fails drill it out and just rebore the hole and put in a new lock... thepen trick is crazy i'd never though about that and here i've been using paper clips and hairpens haha

I've used the pen trick to open that type of lock before, it works pretty well.
