== Usage ==
When you pick open a chest or a boat, you will receive the lock in your inventory (not the key) and it will be unlocked. When you pick open a house door lock or gate lock, the lock stays attached and will remain unlocked for 10 minutes real time. Examining the door will reveal how much time remains.
Successfully lockpicking an already unlocked gate or door will reset the lock.
On each attempt, regardless of fail or success, you will either break or damage the lock picks.
The success rate of lockpicking is effected by the quality of the lock picks, the lockpicking skill, the lock ql, the wall or container ql, container rarity, and for a minor degree its parent skill [[Thievery]]. The quality of the lock picks also affects the chances of them just outright breaking.
High quality locks will prevent any lockpicking attempt with lock picks that are approximately more than 20 QL lower.
* The quality of the container or wall makes a slight difference.
* To gain lockpicking skill you need lock picks.
