	In BatMUD safe containers are locked with a three number
	combo. You don't need to have a lock picking skill to try to set
	the correct combo, but instead the lock picking skill might
	prevent the lock getting too hot (a wrong combo makes the lock
	first too hot to be operated and later breaks it, a broken
	lock eventually fixes itself after certain period of
	time). That makes macros basically unusable.
