The lock level of a lock determines the number of pins that need to be manipulated in the lock-picking minigame. It also affects how quickly the lock's pins fall after being raised by a pick. Effectiveness in picking a lock is governed by the Security skill in The Elder Scrolls IV: Oblivion and The Elder Scrolls III: Morrowind, while The Elder Scrolls V: Skyrim utitlizes the lockpicking skill.
