I don't like the idea of a craftable tool that can break open locked lockers/crates. Lockers are tough to open in the first place for good reason (even if the real life mechanics make little sense), and having a craftable tool that can easily do this on the spot is questionable power.
What I think is a good idea, is something that clarks touched upon earlier, enough throw-force would crack open a lock, destroying some of contents inside, but preserving some.
What would cause this throw-force?
--> The artifact pitching machine (in which something heavy is launched AT it)
--> Mechanics graviton machine (in which the locker itself is launched)
--> An asteroid (Asteroid, or super velocity crate simply smacking it, random and advantageous action)
A heavy bomb would work too, but it would incinerate all the contents.
This way, a locker would have to be noticeably lugged around, and you are not fully guaranteed that you'll get everything from the locker. I'd prefer it this way not only because of the balance, but the effort put in = reward put out. Also it'd be a feasible way of QM's busting open locked crates, by working with mechanics.
