Better yet
I thought of going by there with a battery powered drill and taking out the lock and simply removing the remaining things, then leaving them $50 for the lock repair. She's still the tenant, so she has the right to do that if she wishes- as long as the repairs are covered.

More fun still would have been to bring the cutting torch, of course, but the glass doors might have shattered from the heat.

Nah, better to have the judge spank them. More humiliating for the lawyers to be on the receiving end for once.

If they do get a spanking
Make sure that the local press hear about it. It sounds like they could do with the coverage.

Glass...
If it's toughened glass, you can just smash it into car windscreen fragments with one of those clicky centre punches that you use for marking where to drill a hole. The ambo and trumpton crews use them for getting into cars in an emergency.

If it's plate glass, then just heat it with a blowlamp until you've got a circle a bit bigger than a grapefruit and then slap a wet towel across it - the hot bit will suddenly contract, crack all the way round, and drop out.

If it's laminated glass, the problem is the layer of plastic in the middle, That might give you problems. Most interior doors are toughened glass though.

Note that I'm not telling you what to do, I'm telling you how you could do it. Not the same thing at all.
