If you cannot make out the number stamped into the face of the lock, your best bet would be to have a locksmith pick the lock for you. Once it's unlocked, you can use a replacement lock core, like the one included with part # TH450200 to replace the existing core. The kit includes the change key used to remove the existing lock core, as well as two replacement cores and two keys.

You'll want to write down the new key number and keep the number in a safe place.
