Lock picks

Lock Picks is a set of locksmith tools. It includes all the necessary picks and tension wrenches to open conventional pin and tumbler locks. Using lockpicks on a locked door will provide a bonus to the character's lockpicking skill.

Lock Picks are replaced by Bobby Pins in Fallout 3 and are used for picking locks similar to the lockpicking in Elder Scrolls IV: Oblivion. Using bobby pins in the game requires a certain level of lockpicking skill depending on the difficulty of the lock (Unlike in Oblivion). You will not have to use a bobby pin if the door or safe is open. '''WARNING! USE AT YOU OWN RISK''' There is an exploit through which you can try to pick through locks by not taking lock picks with you and try to force a lock open. On the top corner of the screen it will say you have no locks. Force the lock open and it will work most of the time. If it does not the lock will break. But if it does work be careful.The game may shutdown and you will loose all of your saved games. This will happen if you try it on any lock other than Very Easy.
