Why can't you use the keys?

Got a rear slider window? Go in that way.

Get some PB blaster, or, some other mean penetrating lubricant of your choice. Use the little tube that comes with 'em, to squirt a fair amount directly into the lock cylinder. Stick your key in there, and work it in and out to free up the tumblers, then, GENTLY rock it back and forth to loosen the lock cylinder itself. I have rescued locks that haven't worked in decades this way.
