The problem I seem to be having in Fallout 2 is basicaly that for some reason i cannot get my lockpick's working i have the electronick one MK-II and the expanded one but as i try them on a door "nothing happens" i had no such problem in fallout 1?! Maybe the how i do it wrong i mean i put on my action panel the "use on" the door but "nothing happens". Bummer. Hope someone can shed a light to my mistery :D. Thanks for your time people.

I'm pretty sure you already know that the Electronic Lockpick only works on electronic locks, such as those on forcefields or certain elevators. For mechanical locks you need the mechanical lockpicks, such as the Expanded Set.
There are a few ways you can try using them, first off, hold down the left mouse button when hovering the cursor over a door then go to the "backpack" icon and click on the lockpick in your inventory to use it.
You can also try moving the lockpick to your equipped item slot then clicking that and using it on a door.
It should work when you move it to your item slot (where you usually place weaponry), that's how I've always done it.

Yeah well you're right about the electrick (I was kinda desperate:) but still it doesn't give me no response whatsoever to when I try with the expanded set. All of those methods i tried and i see no reason not to work but nada. That is the most fascinating thing i dont know why. Well it wasn't a important door anyway, although i hope it doesn't give me this responese later. Thanks anyway mate. Wish you some mary holidays. :)
That's really confusing. Are you sure you didn't jam the lock on the door (it happens if you get a critical failure on attempting to pick a lock)?
Maybe just try leaving the lockpick in the active slot then using the lockpick skill normally, it might just utilize the bonus from the lockpick that way.
does this problem regard a single door or everything? maybe it's just a bug with a rarely used door
also if everything fails use violence ;)
so adding the electric lockpick in a weapon slot, clicking on it then clicking on the door didnt work?
Ok this may sound strange but my mistake was that when i was using the lockpicks on the door i wasn't putting my cursor exactly on the door handle which resulted in a "nothing happens" message?!? But it works now or maybe there is some bug or glitch with the door in Dunton brother's house (later it worked with the door behind buckner's counter). Fascinating game wouldn't agree guys! Btw Happy Holidays!
