Correction: This is not a plot hole. What actually happens is that Diane Keaton switches the lock while she is cleaning in the cash box holding room. She then tells Katie Holmes the cash box number, Katie then takes that box and uses her key to put the cash in the trash. From there she delivers the box to Queen Latifah who has already gone to the washroom to receive the real lock and box number. Once she unlocks the box she replaces the original lock and continues destroying the cash.
