I usually work night shift in my career, so picking locks is part of the routine. Yes, I have master keys, many different master keys, and can always walk over to security if I find another rouge lock that we need to open or remove. But picking/rekeying a lock, or general locksmithing is something that rapidly speeds up our workflow of entire departments if we "just do it now" and do it right, rather than waiting on a contractor. The process usually does keying the correct way, but we pick locks or big tools of destruction to send a reminder message when a door gets in the way.

Picking locks is a lot more elegant than taking a 2500 watt battery powered friction saw that will vaporize the metal in seconds from any hardened lock assembly. Or the oxy/acetylene torch, forklift, whatever, we have authorized root / all access to the building, we get shit done.
