How to prevent breaking the lockpick in Skyrim?
If the lockpick is in the wrong place,
and you turn the lock too far, the pick will break.

Though, even if you just test the lockpick a little bit,
without going far enough to break it,
the pick will break after a certain number of failures to open the lock.
