Follow the outer edge of the imperial city wall, you will find a guy named shady sam who sells lock picks.

at the begining of the theives guild quests there is one good chance to buy picks - I suggest buying "lots".

I got my lockpicks mostly from goblins

just pick a whatever cave, go in, kill some goblins, and loot their body

you should be able to find some

and, a little tip, always save your game before lockpicking

so you can always load, in case you break too many lockpicks

You can get them from shady sam outside the imperial city walls or any thieves guild fence. What I recommend before starting any thieves guild quests is find the shrine of nocturne north-east of Leyawiin to get the skeleton key, which is an unbreakable lockpick. Saves alot of effort.

yep, this is a great quest with an excellent reward, jst north, northwest of Leyawin in the swamps rests the shrine of nocturnal, complete this quest and you'll get the skeleton key, which is an invincible lockpick that also raises your security by +40.

Great item for thieves and assasins.

You can join the Dark Brotherhood. In their hideout there's a guy who sells them to you. Also if you join the thieves guild some of the fences sell them too you too. Or you can go bandit hunting and get them that way haha.

I suggest you get the Skeleton Key.

You can buy lock picks from all fences when you join the theives guild. (oddly sometimes mountain lions carry them)

What I do to not loose many lockpicks is saving before trying to open an average or hard lock. and if I than loose to many I just re-load.... little bit of cheating:P

The above suggestions are great and all, but: all you need is 1 Lockpick ;)

Get 2 scrolls of anything of the same spell, highlight it and press X twice, go to the lockpick and drop it...

Voila! 2 lockpicks :D

Don't duplicate alot of lockpicks at once though, for some reason, it'll make the game lag, alot.

Just to add to this, you need to be lvl 10 to start Nocturnal's shrine quest.
