This mod enables you to turn 1 steel ingot into 5 lockpicks.

Not enough return on your investment? Want 10 lockpicks? Unlock the Steel Smithing perk, and you can make 10 lockpicks from 1 steel ingot!

What's that? It's still not enough? Fine -- once you reach Advanced Armors, your skill working with steel lets you make 15 lockpicks from a single steel ingot!

This mod is also available on the Steam Workshop
