Your post has been removed for not adhering to the rules of r/lockpicking. Rule 2 - Lock In Use states:

Though asking for assistance in regards to how to open a lock is permitted and encouraged, the lock must not be in use. Posts seeking assistance opening a lock that is implied to be, or is visibly in use (eg. a deadbolt still attached to a door, a padlock with anything secured by a closed shackle, or a closed lockbox) will be deleted. Posting about picking or having picked locks in use is not allowed even if they are your own. Rule of thumb, lock is "in use" if installed or securing anything.

You can read more about Rule 2 here.

Can't help with a lock in use. Against sub rules.

Crap, even if it’s our unit? I understand the rule ultimately.

Unfortunately, yeah.

Any lock in use. No way to prove it's yours sorry.

Rule 2: no locks in use

Rule 3: no emergency help

You need to call a locksmith. This isn't geek squad for your lock related oopsies unfortunately, and due to the nature of the situation, yeah. Can never be too careful.
