If you want to save the locks and be able to use them again, a locksmith would be another cjoice.

Dead bolt lock- no key?

If they are clearing the house for rent or sale dead bolts on bed rooms send a strange message

The dead bolts are not on bedrooms- one closet in the garage, one larger storage room in the upper floor over the garage, ska workshop. Will try pulling the pins. If not, sawsall

If they have a thumb turn, the screws are on the inside. They could also have plugs over the screws that disassemble the lock, for a keyed both sides deadbolt...or a cover that twists to expose the screws.

I turn, therefore I am!

The doors swing out so I may be able to pull the hinge pins. If not can I drill the lick? Or use a saw all and cut the protruding bolt? My father's neighbor accidentally locked their infant son in the house and could not find their key. Frantically they asked my father to break into the house. He did so by grabbing a large hammer and whacking off the door knob and the bolt. Then he fished in with a screwdriver. It took less time to break in than it took to get the hammer. I was a youngster at the time and I could not see what he did after he whacked off the knobs, so I cannot give more directions. And those houses were built in 1956, so locks may have changed. They later put new locks on the existing doors so I assume that there was no damage to the door itself.

dont deadbolts just slide into a pocket in the casing? if so, seems you could pull the hinge pins and just slide the door out with the deadbolt still in the lock position.
schlage deadbolt here. not sure if a shlafe is the same. 
the issue with deadbolts is they go pretty far into the structure, as previously mentioned by someone and as can be seen in that pic. So it's pretty easy to split the door trim and make a mess if you pull the hinge pins. Although that is the one non-destructive line of attack. OTOH, does it really make sense to have a deadbolt on these room? If not, destroying them is just fine.
I feel like a good deadbolt is going to resist a brute-force attack. Not sure Schlage makes a good deadbolt though

Ok, this thread was started last April.
And there is no update from the OP. What was behind the locked doors?

Mark- due to strange family dynamics the doors are still locked. This is my BIL’s place. My wife and I are/we’re eager to clear the place out. The only other sibling, the middle child ( sister) and her husband balked. We are in a holding pattern
BIL is still living, but in an assisted living place
A crappy quality video but the information seems solid:
