That would be an extremely handy skill, the amount of times I could've broken chests open without wasting about twenty lockpicks trying to get in

.
Also, the difficulty of the lock could determine how hard it is to break/bash in.
I also remember reading one of the security skill books, History of Lock-picking I think, and character in it said something like if you hold a torch next to the lock it warms the metal and makes it easier to pick, so say if you cast a fire spell or there was someway you could activate a torch with the lock and it could maybe make it easier to break, which would be great for people who aren't good at security or alteration.
Especially since I suck at both
