Master of Unlocking Guide | Lock Pick Location
There are multiple lock picks available in Resident Evil 7, but we’re going to talk about the first lock pick available after entering the mansion. Here’s where to find it.
- Lock Pick Location: Starting at the Main House 1F, climb up into the laundry room. Opposite the laundry machines, there’s a red toolbox on the shelf you can interact with. Open it to get a lockpick.
Exit into the hallway and turn right. Behind the last door on the left, there’s a small cabinet. Use the lock pick to open the cabinet and you’ll get the “Master of Unlocking” achievement / trophy.
The immortal line “It might be handy if you, the Master of Unlocking, take it with you.” was first uttered by Barry Burton in the original Resident Evil. Hilariously stilted, the awkward phrasing made this phrase instantly iconic for a generation of new Resident Evil fans.
This transcendent bit of dialogue gets brought up a lot in future Resident Evils, but most often in Resident Evil: Revelations 2 — which features both “Master of Unlocking” and the “Jill Sandwich”! Just for fun, here’s a video of the original game, complete with terrible Barry line delivery.
