She might try going to antique stores. Some may have an accumulation of skeleton type keys from a variety of antique cabinets, dressers, secretaries etc. Maybe they can be borrowed to try in the lock. A lot of those locks are pretty standard, it's worth a try.

Take care,

Hi everyone,

Posting here for a friend, who is restoring an old farmhouse. She purchased an antique secretary which has a stuck lock on the top drawer. She says she's tried all manner of ways of picking the lock herself, and her requests to a local locksmith have gone unanswered. Does anyone here have any suggestions, or know who might be best to contact to pick an antique lock? (Besides the CIA, which I've already suggested ;-) ) 

She is located in Maryland on the Eastern Shore if that helps.

Thank you!
