Crafted? Yes, using Tinkering skill

Using Lockpicking
In order to attempt to pick a lock, you must have a set of lockpicks in your pack. To pick a lock:
  • Double-click on your lockpicks.
  • Target the item to be picked.
  • Some locks are harder to pick than others (and some, such as house doors, are impossible to pick). Your skill level will determine your success rate. If you are successful, the lock will be picked, and you can open the item.

    This skill is especially useful in hunting treasure using treasure maps. The treasure chests that are found will be locked and often trapped. If a chest is trapped as well as locked, you must remove the trap before you may pick the lock. Use of this skill along with Detecting Hidden (to find any traps) will prove useful.
