Hey - every time you "inspect" a chest, you will be working towards upping your Locks skill, so if you keep inspecting it (the magnifying glass) without trying to disarm or open it, your skill will slowly go up (maybe takes like 20 tries or so per point). Each time though you have a small chance of setting off the trap which sometimes opens the chest. So if you really want to pump the skill, inspect chests early on until you make them go off and open by mistake - a little boring/tedious, but you can get your skill level to like 40ish from the chests in the Monastery...
