At some point, it may be possible to leverage this, but I agree: at present, it's a purely theoretical compromise, and you'd be better served by either picking the lock -- which might be as simple as just raking some pins -- or by re-creating the key from an image[1]. The image attack offers way more opportunities there, as you just need to be able to see the key (as opposed to the hypothetical sound attack, which requires that you capture the sound of the lock being unlocked). As an aside, If you're keen to learn more about locks and security, I suggest having a look at LockPickingLawyer on YouTube[2].
