If you are a member of the thieves guild you can buy them off your fence, otherwise, happy hunting (I believe)

im only a member of the blades.

Theres a guy who hangs round out side the imperial city walls from time to time, see if you can find him.

Go out of the Imperial City towards the stables but don't go down the long bridge towards the farm or whatever it's called. Follow the City walls left and in amongst the ramparts is a guy (called Sam I think) dressed in a black robe. He'll sell you them.

You can do the Dedric quest to get the Skeleton Key, this is simply an infinite lockpick.

LOCATION: Start in Leyawiin. Leave by the North East gate and follow the
road north. You'll pass the Ayleid citadel of Veyond, Blanken March and find
a dirt path on your right leading to the Shrine.

Yeah that skeleton key is one of the most usefull items in the whole game. Gives you a +40 boost to your security skill aswell.

Is it easy to get that key? Sounds tempting for my Theif character, im surprised I didnt know about it,

Yes it's easy, only requirement is you have to be at least level 10.

Heres a tip: If you can't afford an item, do NOT kill the shopkeeper.

I did and he was dead for my whole game and I couldn't buy anything from that shop (and it was an important shop).

Tony Williams · 3 Apr 2007 at 16:26

I just find all my lockpicks. Then again I'm only near the start of the game.

OK I found this shrine, but I must be level 10 to do this quest.. how do I find out my level?

EDIT:

I just leveled up, i'm only level 6.

I really should get back into playing this, I keep going through spurts of playing it, loving it then playing something else. My attention span is shocking at times

I'm the same, completed nearly every faction side quest, except mages and was on my way to finishing the main chain and just stopped playing.
