Okay, here is the formula for 403 and 404, give or take:

Level/2 + Skill Bonus/10 + Dex Bonus/2 + (something)

That will be underestimating things by around 5-10 points.

It depends on if the end use if a manual or magical lock opening.

403

For manual lockpicking, success factors include the caster's level, the caster's Pick Locks skill, the caster's Minor Elemental spell ranks, and the target's Dexterity bonus. At no time will the spell provide a bonus greater than the target's Pick Locks skill.

For magical lockpicking, the target of the Unlock spell receives a bonus based on their own Minor Elemental spell ranks and Aura bonus, regardless of who cast Picking Enhancement upon them.

404

For manual disarming, success factors include the caster's level, the caster's Disarm Traps skill, the caster's Minor Elemental spell ranks, and the target's Intuition bonus (if the character is not currently working on a trap) or Dexterity bonus (if the character has found a trap recently, but has yet to disarm it). At no time will the spell provide a bonus greater than the target's Disarm Traps skill.

For magical disarming, the caster of the Disarm spell receives a bonus based on their own Minor Elemental spell ranks and Aura bonus, regardless of who cast Disarm Enhancement upon them.
