Faulty battery lock

I have just bought a new Fiido ebike and the key for the battery wont go in to the lock, it stops halfway and can't engage. I can't see anything blocking the barrel so it feels like ive been supplied incorrect keys. Fiido are taking forever to respond: requesting photos and videos of evidence not to mention the delays in getting them to respond... If I could get the battery out of the frame, that would be so much easier as i'd request a replacement battery with ne keys, but i cant because its actually locked inside the frame, hence the problem i have.

Ive been tempted to get a locksmith to forcibly remove lock or perhaps even get it picked open. Fiido are saying not to (naturally) as it would invalidate the warranty. What ar peoples thoughts?

Thanks
