Yes a lock smith can get your door open with out damaging it.
My carpenter can open a locked door, but couldnt say how on a public forum.

you best call out a locksmith he may be able to throw the lock other wise the only other option is to force entry if it is a wooden door ,if it is a double glazed door with exposed hinges you may be able to take the pins or hinges off the door or frame and lift the door out

Yes the door can be opened without causing damage and the lock replaced. You will need to call a locksmith to open it, who will pick the lock.

Yes, a good local lock smith will be able to get in. Your local police station will give you a name of a reputable company who will tell you exactly what needs to be done. Otherwise, negotiate with the purchasers as you might find they plan to change the door / locks anyway so you'd just be throwing money away!

The lock can be opened with Non destructive entry, drilling will only cause damage and is only used when all other non destructive methods are not successful. Please use a registered locksmith.

You can buy a 'bump key' from Ebay for a few pounds, this will open any Yale lock.
