Knowing where to find Resident Evil Village lockpicks and easy-to-pick locks is vital if you want to stock up on essentials like ammo and maybe even weapon upgrades. These lockpicks and locks are rarely in the same place, and often the challenge is remembering where one was when you find the other. In an open map where you can backtrack freely, that's easier said than done. However, if you want to find more, if not all of the Resident Evil Village lockpicks and locks to get at the valuables inside, we can help.

So, to make doubly sure you don't miss any Resident Evil Village lockpicks or the easy to pick locks they open, we have both lockpick location maps and easy-to-pick lock maps. By using them you should find lots of ammo, treasure and more to help you get through the game. More importantly, we'll also show you what's behind those locks, so you don't waste a lockpick getting something you don't want or need.

Let's explore the Resident Evil Village lockpicks and easy-to-pick lock locations!

There are ‘easy to pick locks’, scattered all over the Resident Evil Village map that can only be opened with Resident Evil Village lockpicks. There’s no minigame involved here, you simply examine an easy to pick lock and, if you have a lockpick, it'll open your inventory where you can select it and to pop the lock open. The lockpick will be used in the process which is why you'll always be looking for more. It will take a while before you get your first lockpick, so don’t worry if you can’t open the first few easy to pick locks you come across.

These simple locks are usually found on drawers, lockers, or cupboards. Once you find one, it will remain visible on the map until you open it. If you want to know the contents of an easy-to-pick lock, its exact location, or the locations of the lockpicks, take a look at these maps for the various areas of the game:

Castle Dimitrescu lockpick locations and maps

There are three lockpicks to be found in Castle Dimitrescu on the first and second floor, along with the rooftop. So don't expect to pick up any quickly. Just make a note to check these areas as you work your way through the location. You'll find them in this order:

Castle Dimitrescu lockpick, 1F

1. When walking from the Kitchen to the Dinner Hall, you can find a Resident Evil Village lockpick at the end of the hallway on your right.

Castle Dimitrescu lockpick, 2F

2. When you climb up to the Attic, go around the corner to your left after climbing up. Watch out for the body lying on the ground as it's not that dead yet, and the lockpick is behind it.

3. It's easy to miss the Resident Evil Village lockpick in the Armory as... a lot happens. No spoilers if you haven't been there, you'll find out soon enough. But when the smoke has cleared check the corner furthest from where you came in to grab the lockpick.

You likely came across this lock when entering the Village for the first time. It’s left of the front door. Contains sniper rifle ammo.

There are a few Resident Evil Village easy to pick locks in Castle Dimitrescu. While one is right next to probably the first lockpick you'll find, and basically acts like a tutorial, most of the game's lock and picks are usually well distanced part.

Directly after leaving the Bedchamber in Castle Dimitrescu, it’s on your left hand side. Contains shotgun ammo.
The cabinet in the hallway just left of the Kitchen. Contains a Wooden Angel Statue treasure you can sell to the duke.
In the Opera Hall, on the second floor. Walk up the stairs you see on the map, and you’ll find the lock on your right. Contains sniper rifle ammo.

You'll find two easy to pick locks in Heisenberg’s Factory although you'd be forgiven for missing them what with... that place in general. Plus one of them is an oddly unique container you might not even register as something you can interact with.

On level MB4, in the hallway from the Foundry to the Operating Room, you’ll see a white refrigerator with yellow tape on it. Contains yellow quartz.
Same level, in the cabinet outside Heisenberg’s Quarters. Contains magnum ammo.
