I know you aren't complaining so this isn't directed at you, but in a situation like yours I would totally be ok with paying the $75. I could imagine the panic that was going on after a balcony collapse.
If there was a tiny leak I would hope my condo board would call me and tell me to come open my unit before they jumped to the locksmith though. In any emergency (balcony, electrical issue, big leak) I would be fine with them picking the lock.
