Non destructive entry means gaining access through a locked door or vehicle by way of lock picking or bypassing the lock without doing any physical damage to the lock or the door.

If your lock is one of the standard rim cylinder types (Euro Cylinder/Yale) then in most cases entry can be gained very quickly, sometimes within minutes. More complex locks such as deadlocks can take longer due to their characteristically secure nature.
