    While it is true that a locked map cannot be unlocked, that does not mean that an unlocked copy cannot be retrieved. I had a bit of trouble working out the syntax to use the give command for this but you can put the map in a chest by using this command   

    data merge block x y z {Items:[{Slot: 0b, id:"minecraft:filled_map", Count:1b, tag: {map:###}}]}

    where x y z are the coordinates of a (preferably empty) chest and ### is the number of the original map before locking. The map will be in the top left slot of the chest.
