With access from the inside, and about a 3mm view of the 'bolt'
between the striking plate and the door, what's the best and least
destructive way of removing this (lost key) external door lock?


If you have any idea what the lock type, is a locksmith would probly
use something like this and drill a single hole.

Problem there is, the makers name only appears on the plate around the bolt.
I don't suppose many people have a clue about what make a lock is.
