	Some locks will be picked already after the first tumbler, while others might take as many as 3, 4 or even 5 tumblers cracked by lockpicking, until the lock opens. Once a single tumbler is successfully picked, but there are several more left, players need to select the other lockpick, in order to alternate between the lockpicks and continue lockpicking.

Lockpicks are some of the most essential tools for any professional thief.

In ''The Dark Mod'', player characters are offered two different types of lockpicks - "snake" and "triangle" - as a part of their personal inventory of tools and items. Lockpicks are used to unlock doors, windows, lids, safes, jewellery boxes and other lockable entry points or compartments.

However, not all doors or windows can always be unlocked with lockpicks. Occassionally, players might stumble upon doors or windows that can only be unlocked with a very specific key, or by some other method (e.g. doors requiring a certain combination entered by a machine).

== Snake lockpick ==

This lockpick ends in a snaking, vaguely S-shaped curve.
