For a till tap, do deputies compel the business owners to open the till, or is there some kind of skeleton key that law enforcement use?

I assume that's where "arresting anyone who gets in the way" comes in
I think it is the courts that have compelled the business owner to open the till. The deputies are just enforcing the court's judgement.
Skeleton keys are a plot device in children's cartoons.
Not for warded locks [1]

They're more common that you'd think.

And the TSA.
