How would a locksmiths open it?.

First off he'd get the old key out with an assortment of tools -some
home made. Whichever one suits the job. Then he would fiddle with the
mechanism using another assortment of tools called picks from their
shape. He has to know how the levers work on the lock and how many there
are and how to lift each of them off the bolt so that it can be opened.

And while it is all in the air like that, he has to pull the bolt back.
The alternative is to risk damage to the door and frame and to ruin
either the hinges or the lock whichever is the easiest/cheapest.
