The typical Ace lock is not very hard at all. Just center punch the center,
and drill into it. when you get drilled in far enough, pound a screwdriver
into the center shaft and turn. Probably a lot faster than picking it.

pressed into that spot...

Indeed. The original version were brass plated with chrome..then
stainless steel bodies, hardened stainless steel (416) and so forth.
