Lock Pick

The lock pick is a lock-opening device that appears throughout the Resident Evil series. The lock pick is designed to be able to penetrate old and simple locks. Typically, one of the main characters in the Resident Evil games will start off with a lock pick. It can be used to gain access to certain doors with simple lock mechanisms, in contrast to other characters that may have to use other means to enter these areas. It can also be used to open drawers and lockers for additional health items and ammunition.

The lock pick originally debuted in the original Resident Evil game. Barry Burton will give the lock pick to Jill Valentine after searching the main hall of the Spencer Mansion looking for Wesker. With the lock pick, Jill is able to enter several doors of the mansion without the use of any other keys, as opposed to Chris Redfield, who has to use the Sword Key in place of the lock pick. The lock pick will also appear as a personal item for Jill, and will not take up one of her main inventory slots. The lock pick also returns in the remake version of Resident Evil, but this time around it will unlock a different set of doors.

The lock pick returns to reprise its role in Resident Evil 2. In this game, Claire Redfield starts off with a lock pick as her personal item. She can use the lock pick to unlock certain desks in the Raccoon Police Department to gain additional ammunition and health items. Leon Kennedy on the other hand must find Small Keys to open these drawers up. Later in the game, the lock pick will be replaced with the G-Virus vaccine and will have no use for Claire any more.

The lock pick returns once again in Resident Evil 3. This time around, the lock pick will take up a slot in Jill's inventory. It can be used to unlock various doors and lockers around the city.

The lock pick is Alyssa Ashcroft's personal item in the Resident Evil Outbreak games. In these games, Alyssa comes with a set of four different lock picks that she can use to unlock certain areas that other characters might not be able to. This includes drawers, cabinets, and lockers, and it allows her to gain additional health items and ammunition that otherwise may be off-limit to other characters. She can also use it to unlock different doors. However, when using the lock pick, Alyssa must pick the correct lock pick in order to open the lock mechanism she is picking.
