The lock is most likely a lever lock. There are a few warded locks along those lines, but normally not as common. If it is warded, then a set of skeleton keys may work. If it is a lever lock, they most likely will not work.
If you can get a blank, it may be easier (and more rewarding) to impression a key.
Warded locks are normally easy to impression.
Here is a thread on impressioning a warded lock. While the thread shows a dual sided warded lock, the process is the same.
Lever locks are normally more difficult to impression, but are usually still easier than pin tumbler locks. Lever locks with extra security precautions are more difficult, but that lock will probably not have them.
This thread deals with impressioning a simple lever lock.
There are more threads on impressioning locks on this site, and some are better than these two, but they will get you the idea. A lever or warded lock takes few tools to impression. A file that can cut on the edge (or a Dremel with a cut-off disc) and some means of marking the edge of the key (a candle, marker, etcetera) are all that are needed, though some people use a magnifier and light source.
Learning to pick the lock is rewarding, and the threads on picking the lock above and in a search will get you on your way. However, if you impression a key, then you can always open the lock.
Whichever way you choose to follow (and try them all), good luck to you.
