The official GemStone IV encyclopedia.
Lockpicks are items that are mainly used to pick locks on treasure chests found from the treasure system. They can be purchased at the local locksmith in every town. If you are within one of the three main starter towns, you can find the locksmith by typing DIRECTION LOCKSMITH where you'll be able to purchase and repair lockpicks when broken. Repairing the lockpick does reduce the modifier of the lockpick however, so eventually you will break a lockpick enough times that it should be replaced instead of repaired. Lock Mastery Masters have the ability once per month to renew a lockpick back to its original modifier.

Lockpick Conditions
It appears that bending a lockpick will move the condition value down by one. Bending a poor condition lockpick will break the tip. Bending affects the condition, but not the modifier. Repairing a bent lockpick will affect the strength and modifier.

Lock Mastery Crafted Lockpicks
The Rogue Guild skill lock mastery provides the ability for rogues to make their own lockpicks. Each successful lockpick attempt has a quality associated with it: far below average, fairly average, and exceptional. This determines the range the lockpick's modifier will fall into. Strength is unaffected.
