Hannibals Locks and Keys List

This list was compiled by Hannibal. With the removal of his site, it has been added here.

Most keys are found near the locks that they open.  Some of the spares you pick up are worthless, or duplicates of each other, or redundant to another means of unlocking a door.  These tables can help you identify the "keepers".

Note: You can copy and paste these tables into a spreadsheet.

Example:  Suppose you want to find the key that opens the Mad Mage's back door.  In the list of Locks it's #2.  In the grid below find Lock #2 and follow the row to the right.  Wherever there's an "X", that Key can be used to open it.
