So next step might be locksmith drilling the lock.

I bet you can get in through a window. If it’s a large window, push on the moving piece as you “pop” on the frame. It’s a fine line between getting the latch to release and breaking the glass. I haven’t broken a window yet....knock on wood. You have to be trying to open the window and pop the glass right at the frame. If your unsure, you may be able to put a very thin shin in above the latch and then move it downward.

Drilling out the cylinder may not get you in, depending on what the issue is. If you have a laundry chute in the bedroom that drops into the front compartment, send a young one in that way. I’ve even had to replace vent lids as scumbags have sent Their kids through that way to unlock trailers in storage.

All of this to say you have options.
