A lockpick is an item that members can use via the Thieving skill. Lockpicks help to open locked doors more easily, and are a requirement for some doors. Additionally, lockpicks increase the success chance at picking locks on chests by 3%.

There is a spawn near the end of Yanille Agility dungeon in the small room containing the pile of rubble that has to be climbed before fighting Salarin the Twisted. To access this room, a player must have either level 57 Agility to cross the monkey bars, or level 82 Thieving and a lockpick to open the door in the basement of the house beside Yanille bank.

The lockpick may also break when used (only in some cases), so it is advised to bring a number of lockpicks when picking locks that can break the lockpick. Alternatively the player can bring a hair clip, which will not break but cannot be used on chests. The master thief's lockpick reward from safecracking remedies both problems.

Pickable doors

Certain doors in RuneScape cannot be opened by players unless the lock is picked. In order to pick a lock, select "Pick Lock" option on a door. If the player has the required Thieving level, the door will then be opened. Some doors will require a lockpick to successfully pick the lock.

Other uses

Quest uses

• A door in Legends' Quest
• A chest in Desert Treasure
• A jail cell door in King's Ransom

Chests

• Increases success when thieving from zogre Ogre Coffins
  • Ogre coffin keys are much more expensive than the store price, and the player can attempt to pick the lock of the coffin with a lockpick instead. This is very likely to break the lockpick.

Activities

• Easier door opening in Pyramid Plunder but less experience gained when doing so
• Creating a dungeoneering lock melter
• Picking small rune caskets from Ali Morrisane has an increased success chance with lockpicks with a chance of lockpicks breaking on failures. Large rune caskets also have a chance of lockpicks breaking, but succeeding in picking the lock isn't possible.
