I’ll allow Aurora improvising some picks for the lock, provided there’s a hairpin or toothpicks (or something similar) on the party.

EDIT: If Aurora has expertise in Thieves’ Tools, she’ll use the normal proficiency bonus since the tools are improvised. If not, then she’ll just use her Dexterity Mod.

If there isn’t, then she can try the crowbar and hammer method, but that will be a strength check instead of dexterity.

I figured it would be strength over dex. Would there be a way to lower the DC by investigatingthe cabinet for weak points if no one has a possible improvised pick?

She does have expertise with thieves tools.
