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


how very interesting. I remember, as a child, that a neighbour's
house was damaged while they were away. Somebody had drilled 8 holes
near the lock. I now realise they must have been working their way
through all the positions on a template like that.
