... because the thousandth time is chore ...

(2) Lock detection radius [ 1024 - 2048 - 4096 ] game units
(3) Unlock object activation menu option [ Off - Quick - Bypass ]
(4) Unlock notifications [ Enable | Disable ]
(5) Player XP and Companion affinity [ Enable | Disable ]
(6) Set percentage of bobby pins that break
(7) Show AutoUnLock stats
User Notes (RTFM)
(1) When auto unlock radius is enabled, as the player moves through the world the configured radius is scanned for base game loot containers, non teleportation doors and basic Terminals that are locked, unowned and not quest specific objects. If the player has one or more bobby pins and the right perk for the lock level, it is unlocked for you.
The list of door types detected in is limited, as processing the number of doors found in a downtown radius can have a significant performance spike on your system during the detection sweep. Use the option (3) activation menu option on any that are still locked.
(3) A locked object activation menu option button can be added to locked items. QUICK UNLOCK uses player perks and bobbypins. BYPASS any lock forces any lock open regardless of player perks, bobbypins and ownership so does not grant XP or affinity.
(5) If XP is enabled, lockpicking is awarded at the right level but XP for terminal hacking uses the lockpick values as calculating hack values is too much faff. Companion affinity cooldown ensures that max one event is generated per automated search radius.
If things are not auto unlocking on player movement:
1. SKK AutoUnlock is set to enabled in the key configuration - check.
2. At least one bobby pin in MISC inventory (for locks, not terminals fool) - check.
3. Do you have the right perk level - check.
4. It is not owned by someone (red text) - check.
5. Then it is not a generic loot container or terminal.
If you would like to force unlock and open complex animated objects like security doors, vault doors, card readers and elevators consider OPEN ANYTHING.
