When it comes down to it there is nothing better than manual tools for your Lock pick Set, whether they be retail, homebrew, macgyver style. DIY'ers look here.

Just think about what youve said and asked,
The only way it would work is if there was a lock that opened in that way and then a pick made to mimic and crak the key,
As far as todays locks go and having one mounted next to another and then by some magical tool you open both locks together by simply pointing it at it then no what planet are you on
Teleconesis isnt real you know

I happen to know the game and the scene with the picks. There are two indentic locks on opposite walls in a bank which have to to be unlocked and turned simultaniously (as a security messure). The pick system would be something like two synchronized sputniks. One would be operated and give the depth information and one would have a mechanism to set the wires to the required depth. The communication could work via short range radio or IR. It could be feasible with currently available technology.
I doubt that someone would build it though. When someome goes into the trouble to install a system that requires two keys to open, that someone would likely go a little further and use two different keys. Otherwise one person might duplicate his key and use the duplicate for the other lock. With two different locks the pick systen would be worthless.

Yes systems that require two or more keys to open somthing are VERY COMMON and are all over the place in everyday life,
As regards the actual question the OP asked it is total dream world and the actual question was does it exist,
Making sputniks with motor control oporated by radio signals etc is an interesting idea but way over engineered on a system that has inherrent faults anyway,

The OP´s question may not have a valid answer other than "we don´t know".
A device like that could be build. Most components are already designed and available at a reasonable price.
Very likely only secret services may have the resources and the motivation to build it ( judging from the price of a sputnik the price range would be between 10000$ and 15000$ for handcrafted items). If they really have a use for it, they will have it. If they don´t need it, it probably doesn´t exist at all.

Hence i suggest you re-read the OP's question along with the other replies, i believe my first reply was " that we know of "
But it wasnt the question of is it possable (it isnt by the way) but does it exist,
Ive so little interest in this concept ive no intention of gogin through the motions with it but my last word on it is that the concept isnt possable, the sputniks are not great wonderful opening tools infact they are finicky and occasional openers, a better understanding of lock mechanicals will show im right,
As i say im sorry but im not willing to make a load of posts explaining why this wont work and why it doesnt exist and why its not needed and why it cant be done just for you at the end of it to say either you still dont understand or that i was right,
However this sort of thing is up the street of others on here who are more than willing to go on and on about how it could be made or done with unpractacle suggestions and space age materials so i will leave you to discuss it with them,
Remember sputnik discussion is not for the public forums along with bypassing info and high security lock picking so other than that go ahead and see what you can all come up with,
Next you will be telling me that idiot really does bend spoons with his mind,

I have the most obvious solution: Two lock pickers and they pick the locks open and after that they turn those locks simultaniously with their tention wrenches.
Think of gloves next time

The scene in the game was basically a machine that acted as a second picker, by copying what the user did. You pick the first pin and it picks the first pin. you stop it recalibrates, once it has you pick next pin, etc etc etc.
The idea for some reason was that inorder to open this "High security" lock both had to be picked the exact same way pin by pin, at the exact same time.
Stupid but made the game more interesting than just the regular lock picking sequence.
Best discription possible for it is a copy-cat lock picking robot.
