Lockpick (Skyrim)

Lockpicks are tools used to open locks in . These are crucial in the progression and execution of the Lockpicking skill set and a staple in the arsenal of any thief. One of the key roles in the game itself, some quests may require the use of lockpicks; however, alternatives are often available. When a person is sent to jail, it is usually possible to smuggle in one lockpick to facilitate escape.
==Need==
Because keeping the Skeleton Key directly interferes with completion of the quest "Darkness Returns," the use of ordinary lockpicks is not ruled out unless it was decided to keep it; however, keeping it will inflict a penalty on the Lockpicking and Pickpocket skills by 25%. Since lockpicks do not weigh anything and break easily with lower Lockpicking skills and higher difficulty locks, carrying multiples is not uncommon.
By leveling the Lockpicking skill up to 100 and spending a minimum of six perks in the skill tree, all lockpicks become unbreakable. If the perk is needed elsewhere, it is possible to just stockpile lockpicks, as they are abundant and cheap.
