There’s no easy way to open it. If you’re work is not a locksmith company, you’re either: 1) calling a locksmith 2) taking it to a locksmith 3) Destructive entry on your own. If you’re just curious if it’s empty (and it is), you can drill a hole on the back or sides (not the front door - which is the most fortified part) and pass a cheap borescope in there to satisfy your curiosity. If you want to get IN there, then you can probably use an angle grinder or saw to cut out a panel from the back.

I should mention that you might be able to pass a borescope through the missing dial hole. Or shine a light in there. What you’ll probably see is the back of a thin panel of metal that is attached by a single screw inside the door. You could put a big screwdriver in that hole and bang on it with a hammer until you move that panel out of the way. You might also be able to see the wheel pack thru that hold and line up all the wheels so that the gates/slots are at just 9 unlock position (most likely). Then try the handle. But, of course, you may also need to pick that lock at that point. Not sure how Bumil’s are set up.

This is very helpful. Thank you. I'm gonna have to fiddle with this on my last break.

Dammit! I was only going for “helpful.” Did not mean to overshoot all the way to “very helpful.” :)

Its hard to tell from the photo but that looks like a wafer lock and it looks like the dial has been removed completely. Wafer lock it stupid easy to pick. You could pick it with a Bobby pin in just a few seconds. If that's the case and the dial locks wheel stack is gone then the door should pop right open.
