Got to admit I cheated by cloning my lockpicks.
Cloning items is not difficult, and only requires a stack of arrows (along with your lockpicks). Equip the arrows and begin blocking (what you block with does not matter). While blocking, open up the inventory, attempt to unequip the arrows (you will receive a message stating that you cannot), then drop your lockpick by using shift & left mouse button. Upon exiting the inventory, you'll drop the item in an amount equivalent to the number of arrows in the stack.
I also did this with my iron arrows to get my marksman skill up (shoot your horse till its almost dead and then 'wait' or heal it and start again. Your poor horse just stands there taking arrow after arrow in the arse. Be careful near drops though as arrow impacts will push the horse a little (sometimes right over cliffs- d'oh
)
If you want to duplicate arrows, you will need to have two separate sets (one equipped, one to be cloned).
You can clone other items as well but be careful. I tried cloning a Greater healing potion and forgot I had a stack of 350 arrows. Ten minutes of lag later I had a lovely fan of 350 potions spreading around my feet.

It is a good idea to pick up previously cloned objects before making more. Using stacks rather than singular items reduces the lag (if you're duping an item with 100 arrows, 100 objects will be rendered and calculated on the screen, if you use a stack of 5, it only needs to render 20 objects).
