Forcing lonks open isn't anywhere near as effective as picking the locks--Even with 19 STR, you only have a 50% chance to force doors and chests open, roughly the equivalent of 50% Pick Locks. Save yourself some grief and pick up one of the other Thieves floating around, just long enough to open some stuff. (I know Coran has a good Locks score.)
