If you have been locked out of your commercial rental by your landlord absent a valid court order, you need to contact a landlord tenant attorney to assist you in your matter.
If there is a court order allowing the lock out, you need to consult with a landlord tenant attorney to see what can be done for you to get access to the rental.
Another option is for you to try and work some arrangement for you to obtain access to retrieve the items that you desire.
