Every lock code in Silent Hill: Townfall

26 locks, from the date wheel near the start to the alarm panels near the end, each listed with the note or screen that holds its answer. Look at that first if you would rather solve it yourself; the number is there when you need it.

Codes come from PowerPyx’s walkthrough and Game Rant’s code list; four late ones are also checked against guides written after release. Walkthrough: PowerPyx: walkthrough with all puzzle solutions · Code list: Game Rant: all codes and combinations · Puzzle list: Game Rant: all puzzle solutions · Surgery door: Polygon: saving the patient · Locker 0825: Eurogamer: the CCTV command console · Alarm panels: IGN: Part 6 walkthrough · Clinic: PowerPyx: Part 1 collectible locations · Box 36: PowerPyx: Part 4 collectible locations · CEG storerooms: PowerPyx: Part 5 collectible locations

Do the codes change between games?

Not with difficulty. Game Rant’s guide to the settings says “The mechanics and the codes you find will be the same for all difficulties”, and that holds for New Game Plus as well. The puzzle setting only changes how much help you get: on Hinted, “key text and clues are shown in red”. It can be switched at any time under Game Options. Said in Game Rant: difficulty and puzzle settings

Two of the early answers lean on the handheld television: the date wheel takes one of its channels, and the pharmacy posters are read in the order a broadcast shows them. What the device does is on the CRTV page.

The Clara Woods lockers

Chapter 10 holds more codes than any other, and its locker numbers are not written on any note. Each house safe holds a barcode, and the scanner in the employee locker building prints the locker’s number from it.

Each safe in a house holds the barcode for one locker; the scanner at the CEG employee lockers turns a barcode into that locker’s number. Original diagram for this site.

Locker 75’s flare gun also matters for a trophy: it is one of seven weapons a single trophy asks you to kill with in one playthrough, listed on the trophies page.

Where these sit in the game

Each code carries its part and chapter. The chapter names are on the chapters page, kept behind a fold there because several give away what happens. There is no chapter select, so a code you skipped is only reachable again from a manual save or a new playthrough; that page also lists which saves the endings need. No chapter select, per PowerPyx: trophy guide and roadmap
