Terry, I found using about a 1/4 drill bit and just drilling right in the middle of the lock since you plan on replacing it anyway. Good luck
Looking for anything from Hoosier Pete, Platolene 500 and Red Bird.

Terry ,I've had good luck with nylon wheels on a Matabo grinder, it does the same job as using a regular grinder but its a lot more flexable

I usually pick the lock since it is a very simple (and cheap) design. If picking doesn't work then get out the drill and drill thru the center of the lock.
