The best way to lock-pick is to have the skill to do it, but if you do not have these here are some tricks to get past higher level locks.
Skeleton Key - The Skeleton key is an unbreakable lock-pick that you receive after killing Mercer Frey in the Thieves Guild/Nightingale quest-line. It is a quest-line item so once yo complete the quest for it you can never get it again.

Realistic LockPicking
Did you know that lock-picking in Skyrim has realistic features to it? Well, a feature that is realistic is the "Tick" that you hear when you get close to the sweet-spot of the lock. If you move your pick left to right or right to left slowly you will hear a tick this means you are in the area of the sweet-spot. Note: This is not the sound when you first move the lock-pick. It will take you a bit to attune your ears to this sound.
