Lock picks

Lock Picks are 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. An advanced set also exists.

Lock Picks are replaced by Bobby Pins in Fallout 3.

Characteristics
Lock Picks increase your Lockpick skill by 20% when used, but only on your bread-and-butter tumbler lock. Mechanized doors and elevators require Electronic Lock Picks to break into.
