 Tools used to pick locks and open up otherwise inaccessible routes, to crack open safes and gain well-protected valuables, or to disarm traps that might have been laid out in anticipation of a thief like you. As you can see from the following list, there are quite a few types of lockpicks (and added lockpicking accessories). However, the crucial thing to remember is that virtually no lock will ever need to be picked by all of these. See [[thick as thieves lock-n-trap|Lockpicking and trap disarming]] to get an idea on how to pick locks with these tools.
