OK…I have the bent hairpins, and the lockpicking skill. No doors will open.
Perhaps I’m missing a step? Can’t slot the lockpicks…so?
It’s extremely frustrating, although not as annoying as the broken inventory system, which is a real nightmare, and making me waste my adrenaline.
Any ideas or help on the lockpicking would be appreciated. Thanks.
Are you trying to open quest doors that require keys? I’ve only found one quest door that could be picked and that may well be a bug.
Since I’m not sure how far you are into the game, here’s three places on the Archipelago that you can check if lockpicking is working:
The green four-door building on the road east of Bjorknas.
The green four-door building in the courtyard outside of Vesslan Command Bunker.
The green four-door building below the radio mast east of the Norra Saltholmen Ferry Pier.
Also too add have you the lock pick skill so you can stop bending hair pins 
. The skill you may need is on Skill TECH right column below gas . You will need 2 points in total . Caffeine 
for me its late ok
Yep. I’m thinking too much caffeine, matey. 
Alrighty , here it is lock picking skill is for SHEDS that dont open , little sheds and double door sheds . @Vasdema is correct there are also Quest doors and Containers that need keys … And to top it off Command Bunkers like Vesslan ( RED DOORS with red and green colour key pad ) These need KEY CARDS check bodies human and robots at Vesslan for first card ’ not saying where cos its your game i gave you a hint , i need coffee cheers
Ah. Not enough caffeine. It was going to be one or the other.
Oh you mean caffeine strong early morning here bud 
Sausage egg bacon muffin caffeine for me , then work 
, later more co-op bad robot stuff caffeine and update checking 
II suppose we could off answered @uldskule ( Can’t Open ANY Locked Doors ) With >> Did you try the right key ? , 
If it says “Hold [E] Locked” then that’s a door tied to a quest line. You can’t open it right now.
It needs to say “Hold [E] Pick Lock” in order to be opened.
