The locked chests in the barracks can not be opened, at least not until the Lockpick skill gets fixed (there are very few chests without keys, in any case).
BF quest items and monsters are placed randomly on the third levels of the dungeons, so it is possible for any particular dungeon to have none, one or multiple items or boss monsters.
