In most cases picking the lock is NOT necessary. Most doors are built like crap. There is usually far too much gap between the door trim and the door. If you can get a tool (knives are ok, credit cards are just for movies, I'll explain how to make a good tool in a sec) in between them you are all set. If you look at your front door, the cylinder has two parts. The important part is the smaller one. If this is pushed into the door, the lock will not hold the rest of the cylinder. Make a tool shaped like a 7, about 4 inches long on one side, and 2 inches on the other. I found some thin flat steal about 1/2 and inch wide. I folded it over to make a 7, flattened it with a 10 pound sledge, and trimmed off the ends. You first use a knife or screwdriver to move the small part of the cylinder in, then slip the longer part of the 7 tool behind the cylinder, and pull toward you. The cylinder will move in, and you can open the door, even though it is still locked. This will probably work on about 80% of doors you ever meet. I later made a longer version to deal with steal plates put in front of the lock. Deadbolts are still a pain though.

I was a locksmith apprentice for a few years, and the best thing is still your lock picking skills or a cylinder extractor.

I don't think I've ever actually had to pick a lock or use any kind of tool to get into a place.

Striker plates are not a problem though, thats why I made a longer version. I doubt this would work on a really good lock like a Schlege, but most locks I run accros are crap, and installed badly. Also, I found a great lock pick gide for those who want it.
