Lockpick

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. You may carry a maximum of 20 Lockpicks.

In-game Description

 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
