With all due respect, I really don't think my DM would think that into it that far. Also, I'm kinda just flinging out ideas to make the "haha funny super duper key open everything" idea work lol :p

Locks don't show you the shape of key you need to unlock them, at least not from the outside.
You could send the molten metal in the lock to shape the key, and just harden inside. If I was DM'ing that, I'd require some investigation or maybe a lockpicking check, but it could be done easily if the player knows how locks work inside.
Making thief's tools would make more sense
Absolutely. Pop-out lockpicks for each pinky fingernail would be amazing.

This basically becomes a variant of the Artificer's 3rd level ability:
The Right Tool for the Job
At 3rd level, you learn how to produce exactly the tool you need: with thieves’ tools or artisan’s tools, you can magically create one set of artisan’s tools in an unoccupied space within 5 feet of you. This creation requires 1 hour of uninterrupted work, which can coincide with a short or long rest. Though the product of magic, the tools are nonmagical, and they vanish when you use this feature again.
pretty much haha

Cool idea, but it's an hour ritual. Might work, but good luck if a wandering monster comes along and catches you with your finger stuck in a keyhole.
If you want, I guess you could rule against the OP's idea that the ritual to create the item takes both hands, so you can't create it on your hands. You'd have to pick the lock with your toes. I'd give it disadvantage.

Starting at 2nd level, you can use your Channel Divinity to create simple items.
You conduct an hour-long ritual that crafts a nonmagical item that must include some metal: a simple or martial weapon, a suit of armor, ten pieces of ammunition, a set of tools, or another metal object (see chapter 5, “Equipment,” in the Player’s Handbook for examples of these items). The creation is completed at the end of the hour, coalescing in an unoccupied space of your choice on a surface within 5 feet of you.
The thing you create can be something that is worth no more than 100 gp. As part of this ritual, you must lay out metal, which can include coins, with a value equal to the creation. The metal irretrievably coalesces and transforms into the creation at the ritual’s end, magically forming even nonmetal parts of the creation.
The ritual can create a duplicate of a nonmagical item that contains metal, such as a key, if you possess the original during the ritual.
Would It be possible for me, a Warforged Forge Cleric to infinitely transmute myself into stuff? (Cut off small chunks of plating/skin/whatever it's called on a warforged, create items with metal, healing spell to close up the small wounds, repeat?) As it's part of the body, and not armor, and as it's just a bunch of small wounds (a tough battle would likely produce much worse), wouldn't healing spells be able to patch myself up again? Iron does have a set value per pound, and given enough time and long rests, would I not be able to (very slowly) manufacture infinite sets of Chain Mail?
i would say no. even just because of RP.
irl would you cut parts of your skin or your fingers off and turn it into jewelry or something?

This Mug immediately shared with me a transcendental tale of an Infinite Mug that anchors the Universe and keeps it from folding in on itself. I filed this report under "illogical nonsense" and asked why its sign is in Times New Roman font, when it is basic knowledge that Arial Black is a far superior font. I wondered: How did this mug even get past the assembly line with its theistic beliefs and poor font choices?

This thread has established that this would only be an emergency tactic.

going on a tangent this would get you out of jail. you can use the bars to make a weapon. now you have a weapon and are free.

IIRC the warforged race description explicitly says that healing spells work on them even though they're constructs. But that applies to the normal healing spells that work on all PCs, like Cure Wounds or Healing Word.
I don't think it would be balanced if you could use, say, Mending to recover hp as a warforged.
I think your idea is fun for roleplaying without really having much mechanical impact. Can you create a warhammer which is an extension of your arm? Sure. It's not going to work any better or worse than a human forge cleric creating a warhammer and equipping it, except that, I guess, it's impossible to drop it. Or you could modify your finger with a set of thieves' tools. Cool. But you still roll the same Dex check to pick a lock as any other character using thieves' tools.
Sure the armblade
