I had a similar experience a few years ago. My neighbor came over and asked to use the phone to call a locksmith, since she had locked herself out -- so I offered to try to use my picks to open it for her. I'm just an amateur locksmith, though, and wasn't successful. In the end, she was clearly relieved by my failure.
I don't follow the lock industry at all any more -- I assumed they probably started to make more widespread use of harder to pick locks for homes, since a decade before, the ones I tried were pretty easy to open.
