I have a door with mortise lock and no key. Probably the original lock

to damage the door to get the lock out. What is a reasonable price for
a locksmith to pick it ? I don't want it re-keyed, just opened.
Thanks,

Don't know, however, have you thought about getting the door open by
attcking the jamb (so as to free the mortice), then you can take the
lock out (if that is your hearts desire).
