I want to keep opening all those locked chests around Dry Top, but I'm all out of lockpicks! Buying more costs geodes that I'd rather spend on other things, and sifting through sand has a ridiculously low chance of yielding one.
Am I getting too greedy here, or is there some trick that I'm missing?

There isn't any trick. Per the wiki, these are the ways you can get lockpicks:
One time:
Repeatable:
So, if you want lockpicks and don't want to spend geodes, you pretty much just have to run around Dry Top, completing events (for sand) and killing everything that moves.
The wiki's drop rate research indicates that you've got about a 2.3% chance of getting a lockpick from sand, so you'll average about 1 lockpick per 435 piles of silky sand.
