Lockpick

From DeusEx Wiki

The Lockpicks seen in Deus Ex are disposable tools made from steel and polymers. They can be used to bypass all but the most high-end nanolocks. They are destroyed after each use, and your Lockpicking Skill determines their effectiveness

[edit] Ingame Description

A disposable lockpick. The tension wrench is stell, but appropriate needles are formed from fast congealing polymers.

<UNATCO OPS FILE NOTE AJ006-BLACK> Here´s what they don´t tell you: despite the product literature, you can use a standard lockpick to bypass all but the high-class nanolocks. -- Alex Jacobson <END NOTE>
