In SCP: Secret Laboratory, keycards open doors by access tier: Containment, Security and Administrative, each from 1 to 3. For example, Administrative Access 1 opens the checkpoints and the Intercom Room, and Administrative Access 2 opens Gate A and Gate B. Admins open, lock and destroy any door from Map Control in Remote Admin with the FacilityManagement permission.

Which keycard access opens which door?

Some rooms need two things:
  • SCP-079’s containment: Containment Access 2 and all Emergency Power Stations activated.
  • Bulletproof Locker No. 7: Containment Access 2 and Administrative Access 1.
The Chaos Insurgency Access Device has the same access as the Captain keycard. The Surface Access Pass only opens Gate A and Gate B (it cannot close them) and is used up. To get a better card, upgrade it in SCP-914.

How to control doors as an admin

1

Get the permission

Your role needs FacilityManagement (FCM) in config_remoteadmin.txt. Teleporting to a door needs PlayersManagement. See Remote Admin permissions.
2

Open Map Control

In game, press M to open Remote Admin and go to Map Control.
3

Pick doors

Select one or more doors, or use All or All (listed).
4

Choose an action

Click Open, Closed, Lock, Unlock, Destroy or Teleport.
To lock every door on the map at once, use Lockdown in Remote Admin.

Door settings on your server

Change the first three in Round rules on Game settings and the last in config_gameplay.txt in Files, then restart.

Can I change which keycard opens a door?

Not in the game’s config: config_gameplay.txt has no door access settings. A plugin can change door access; see install EXILED plugins.

Frequently asked questions

Which keycard opens Gate A in SCP:SL?

Any card with Administrative Access 2. The Surface Access Pass can also open Gate A and Gate B once.

What do grenades do to doors?

Most doors are destroyed by a nearby High-Explosive Grenade. Checkpoint doors, gates and elevators are not. See grenade chain reactions.

How do I open all doors as an admin?

In Map Control, click All, then Open. You need FacilityManagement.

Why can’t I lock doors in Remote Admin?

Your role doesn’t have FacilityManagement. Add your role to that permission line in config_remoteadmin.txt and restart.
