Fallout 3 Hints
Both the basement and shed are locked with very hard locks!
1 of 6: If your Lockpick skill is less than 100, you'll need to find keys.
2 of 6: There are two basement keys and three shed keys.
3 of 6: You can get a basement key by pickpocketing Jack Smith, and you can get a shed key by pickpocketing Bill Wilson.
4 of 6: If you're not very good at pickpocketing, look in the upstairs master bedrooms in the Smiths' and Wilsons' houses.
5 of 6: You'll find the keys on small tables near the beds.
6 of 6: NOTE: The third shed key is on top of the radio that's near the bottom of the stairs in the Wilsons' house.
