Yes you can pick to the locked position but you should not be doing that if you have lost the keys. Even though it is a back door it could be your only way out during a fire and is not a good idea.

You really should not pick locks you rely on at all.
For the best book out there on high security locks and their operation, take a look at amazon.com for High-Security Mechanical Locks An Encyclopedic Reference. Written by our very own site member Greyman! A true 5 Star read!!

I concurr but if you want to read up on lever lock picking check the stickies out in the european section,

Your looking for warded locks or curtain locks,

While the door is open pull the lock and put another in and keep the one you have removed for picking practice,
