[Powers] lock/unlock as an advantage
 

How would you make the ability to lock or unlock Doors by touch?
Control and use complexity as the level of the advantage?

Only dowers? That sounds pretty limiting.

Seriously, was it powers, doors, or something else?

Re: [Powers] lock/unlock as an advantage
 

Could be more than Doors, I was thing ether Locksmith(143M) or Lockmaster(144M) spells from Magic

Re: [Powers] lock/unlock as an advantage
 

I'd probably start with Telekinesis 1, Melee Attack, "Only For Locks", Requires Skill Roll (Lockpicking), and throw on some Reliable if you don't want to actually put points in the skill (and thus have it available without the magic).

In general, I rarely like Create/Control except as last-ditch methods when there's no alternative.

The article From Skills to Advantages in Pyramid #3/44 has guidelines for turning spells into advantages. In this case, it would be constructed like this:
Charm* [1] + Magery 0 (One-Spell Magery**, -80%) [1] + Lockmaster (H) IQ [4] = 6 points.

*From Power-Ups 2 Perks, allows a spell to be known without the usual prerequisites.
** From Thaumatology

3e had rules for shticks, single spells converted to advantages, which let you buy the "Power" enchantment to reduce FP cost. This could work using whatever points-to-money or points-to-magic item ratio applies to your game.

GURPS Thaumatology: Sorcery (p. 22) says all you need is: Accessory (TK Lockpicks) [1] + Telekinesis 2 (Sorcery, ‑15%) [9]. But that lets you manipulate other things as well. If you can ONLY use it to open locks it would be more like: Telekinesis 2 (One Task, Lockpicking, -40%; Sorcery, ‑15%) [5].

If you just automatically open doors with no roll, add multiple levels of Reliable and Cosmic, No Die roll Required.

Wouldn’t Control: Locking mechanisms allow you to just slide the locking mechanism into or out of place.

Just need enough levels to cover the largest locking mechanism you will encounter (likely a bank door as they actually have sliders going over the entire door).

I complete agree

Re: [Powers] lock/unlock as an advantage
 

Would this work on Doors that are looked by card keys or finger prints?
