Assuming we're not talking about digital-only locks, they could probably just use a key. A lot of non-critical government buildings are keyed like absolute shit by non-locksmiths, so they're cross-keyed like crazy, and use a lot of off-the-shelf solutions. I wouldn't be surprised if you could just bump the shitty locks.
Oops. I forgot the expression "close enough for government work". I was imaging quickly removing the retire lock with one go. It didn't even occur to me there could be master keys and bumping (whatever that is). Duh.
Bumping is using a key cut specifically to fit into any keyway of its type, so that you can hit it with a rubber mallet and jiggle the pins enough to open the lock.
It's one step above "just hit it really hard and see if it opens" in terms of difficulty. Which works on an absolutely absurd number of consumer-grade locks.
