Locksmithing is used to pick locks and disarm traps, as well as for lockpick carving and lockpick fixing. Locksmithing is most commonly used for opening containers dropped by slain creatures, commonly referred to as boxes. The DR 3.0 update combined and replaced the Lockpicking and Disarming skills with Locksmithing.
Training
All commands associated with lockpicking or disarming will train the Locksmithing skill to some degree. There are multiple variations of both commands that can help increase both the amount of training received and chance of success.
Boxes
To see detailed information about creature dropped containers, see the boxes page. Each box can contain multiple traps and multiple locks. Upon each successful disarm or unlock you will see of it is not yet fully disarmed or picked.
Disarming
Disarm <item> identify - Tells you the type of trap, and the difficulty in accordance with your skill.
Disarm <item> <caution> - The act of actually disarming the trap, the level of caution you use is up to you.
- "Careful" - Slowest, but safest caution level
- None - Putting nothing for caution will result in the second slowest, and second safest form of disarming
- "Quick" - 2nd fastest and 2nd most dangerous.
- "Blind" - Fastest and most dangerous.
Disarm <item> Analyze - Analyzing a box will show you what type, if any, of mechanism can be harvested from trap. Each trap can only be harvested if you have not started working on the next trap.
Disarm <item> Harvest -
Use
See PICK command, Lockpick Carving, and FIX command articles for syntax related to the Lockpick skill.
Training
Lockpicking training should use the tables found in the Disarm Traps skill article to determine difficulty.
Types of Locks and Picks
Certain lockpicks will need to be used on certain types of locks. ANALYZing the lock will reveal what type of lock it is. This has only partially been introduced into the game and is waiting on the Lore rewrite to be fully incorporated. Quality and style will be separated out, so it will be possible to have a master quality pick of the following styles. It was mentioned that grandmaster quality would be able to open all styles of locks, but be restricted to the thief guild.
- Although difficult to spot at first, a thin hole along the bottom of the lock appears to be the key receptacle.
- Slim
- The lock's structure is relatively basic, standard in every way without any unusual characteristics.
- Ordinary
- A sturdy block of metal, the hole for the key is very wide. This big lock obviously is meant for a correspondingly large key.
- Stout
- An intricate steel star houses a complex locking mechanism, with two different spots that each look like they're meant to house keys.

The Disarm Traps skill is used to disarm traps safely and quickly. It is trained, as one might expect, by disarming challenging traps. Traps are most commonly found on treasure boxes dropped by creatures, but may also be found in fixed locations, for example when passing through a room (like in the Undershard Gallery) or on an entryway (such as the door to the Baron's office in Theren Keep).
In DR 3.0, The Disarm Traps skill has been replaced with the Locksmithing skill.
Use
See DISARM command article.
Training
As a general statement, the more difficult the maneuver, the more you can expect to learn from the risk you take. Likewise, a more difficult trap relative to your skill level will present a greater potential to learn from the risk.
For the maximum amount of experience, a person should do the following:
- DISARM IDENTIFY Teaches perception and disarm. Further, the appraised difficulty using this command takes into account Khri, but does not take into account urban bonus or armor. For example, wearing HP and not wearing HP, a box would identify as the same, but using khri safe it would identify easier than not using khri safe. This was tested by Zihnj by ID a box 100 times under each scenario with armor, without armor, in town, out of town, with khri, without khri. He then compared the average appraised difficulties.
- DISARM (BLIND, QUICK, NORMAL, CAREFUL) Disarm at the quickest speed possible for the highest amount of experience gain. Teaches only disarm.
- DISARM ANALYZE Teaches perception and disarm. <optional>
- DISARM HARVEST Teaches only disarm. <optional>
Creatures drop different treasure, such as boxes, at different rates. As a result some creatures which drop boxes may drop boxes at a much slower rate than creatures of a similar level. This is important to note for anyone trying to gather boxes for training, as you can easily spend hours in some locations while finding a few boxes, while in others you will have dozens per hour.
