Lockpicks
  are used to pick locks on chests and doors. They are found in containers everywhere and can stack up to 200. Lockpicks can be used many times if you're careful enough when picking locks and avoid breaking them. Pressing a tumbler for too long increases the chances of breakage, and the difficulty of the lock also has an effect. If you force a lock, you will always break a pick.
