Answer:Yes! Make sure to kill or distract nearby zombies before attempting to pick a lock. Generally, Easy and Medium difficulty locks don't take long to open. However, Hard and Very Hard locks can be difficult to unlock. Therefore I recommend using Fire Crackers to distract the infected. Alternatively, I use Molotovs to block the infected from getting to me. Furthermore, consider lock picking at night, you may encounter Volatiles, but fewer zombies show up at night in Dying Light.
