Default Picking a desk lock

I bought a two drawer wooden filing cabinet (well, one filing drawer and

good.

Now we have lugged it up to the office it won't open.
It seems to be locked.
I assume the mechanism may have shifted during transit.

Does anyone know how easy these office furniture locks are to pick?

I could always drill it out, I suppose, but it would be nicer just to be
able to undo it.

The furniture is labelled "Project" and the key number is 125 and (we
think) 78 on top. Could possibly be 7R?

Bloody typical!
