How do you pick those locks? I'm stuck on the easy one in the room

think of it as a bar that is left to right. you use your mouse to "target" the opening.

[ - - - - - - - - - -] (i imagine 10 spots myself, like this example.)

this bar has one point that lets you open it. 

the points next to it let you attempt to open it.

[ 0 0 0 0 1 1 2 2 3 2 ]  for this example #3 opens the box. 

#3 opens the box, #2 attempts to open the box and usually makes it look like you are super close. #1 you'll get a slight swivel to the lock but nothing more. #0 you get a jiggle and nothing more.

so in order to unlock it you have to imagine moving your mouse through this bar to get where it unlocks.

[ 0 0 0 0 1 1 2 2 3 2 ]                        
                                  ↑  ( mouse pointer on the imaginary bar.)
