This is a lever lock. It may have from 3-6 levers. For a beginner this is not an easy lock to try to learn on. I would suggest drilling out the top and bottom mounting screws as they can easily be replaced later. Or, use the one lock that is off, to study, research, and learn as much as you can to try to pick or impression the locked one. Picks can be made from thin Allen wrenches, piano wire, or round spring steel.
Nothing is foolproof to a talented fool. Wisdom is not just in determining how to do something, but also includes determining whether it should be done at all.

That's a really cool statement piece! What do you plan on doing with it and I hope you are keeping it that awesome color!

Thanks for the replies, I love the color also. It cost 20.00 dollars at a garage sale, but not sure where to display it. I'm reluctant to drill or grind just yet. I'll try to learn a bit more about the levers.

I was just thinking you could paint the doors Police Call Box blue and put a backlit picture of different Doctors from the Dr.Who series in each "window"

Myself, I would grind the 4 Crimp spots, looks like a Chisel Spead out to keep from removing would, Grind Off, pry plate off, would tell you how many levers and how Deep. I do see Nombers on the Back "B50 1349" B50 may be model, 1349 the Key Code? A Center punch on 2 rivets above and below keyhole will help keep Hard Sharp Drill Centered. Should be able to do without damaging Locker, Then replace the Locks, Try Ebay with the lock and number, you may get lucky and find a Key for it, gotten lucky several times. If manufacturer can give help, would sure try. You might get lucky and see codes though the back. May have to adrill a hole and use a $6 Endoscope from Ali, plucg into your phone. Good Luck

Just Back from Ebay, Search, "Lock Corporation of America Locker Key" , Replacement Lock and Keys Are about $10 to $11. You can get lucky sometimes and see the Code Number on the Keys, And Cut of the Key, If their are Only Holes in the Front, ~ 1/4" hole should Beeville you need to see Code. Good Luck some more.
