If used properly, trigger locks are a valid safety device. If used improperly, trigger locks can be a hazard, and may even cause death. Some lock/gun combinations are actually more likely to discharge accidentally than an unlocked gun.
Trigger locks by and large are useless against thieves, but can be used to control child access. If a firearm is kept for defensive purposes, a trigger lock is not an appropriate choice for access control and other options should be investigated.
Since so much depends on the circumstances and the particular user, along with wide variety in lock and firearm designs, a definitive answer is not possible.
As always, the ultimate safety is between your ears. Do not rely on the presence of a trigger lock. Do not assume the gun is not loaded. Do not assume it will not fire. Do not handle firearms you are not familiar with, just because they have a lock on them.

How do you get a trigger lock off a gun without the key?
Take it to a locksmith. Ummm...thanks tips. To get a trigger lock off yourself that you have lost the key for, you can simply drill out the lock mechanism (where the key goes). A drill press is the best for this. For the combo locks with a sliding cover, you can just hit the cover sharply with a hammer and it will break the lock mechanism, releasing the lock. These trigger locks were made primarily to keep kids fingers off guns, not for national security.
