I'm assuming that this sort of "break-in" would be far more complicated than the a drug addict with a tire iron in a hotel parking lot.

All large aircraft have emergency exits that can be opened from the outside. Now they may be blocked from inside the aircraft but I'm betting not all are.

Next time you're waiting at an airport try looking around the main cabin door of visible aircraft for a lock.
