Lock picking

I trust that you return the lock in good condition I was just worried about you having to take so much of your time. I don't mind waiting if you don't mind taking the time to try and get the lock open. I'm afraid that if you try and knock out the pins it will really take away from the originality of the lock. I tried to knock the pins out (very carefully)....they wouldn't budge. They've probably been in there for a hundred years!! If you can't pick the lock I'll still be happy with it. Please do not try and disassemble the lock. Thanks, Treblig in Texas
