Keycards are a type of Item found in SCP: Secret Laboratory. Keycards allow players to access different parts of the Site-02. All keycards have a distinct color and can be identified from a distance.

Keycards are essential if a player wants to go anywhere in the facility, such as the checkpoints, gates, containment chambers, and certain doors and lockers which require them to enter/unlock.

There are currently 12 keycards existing in-game.

When hovering over a keycard in the inventory, a small group of squares are shown. These represent what the keycard can or cannot unlock, known as its access tier. Lit squares indicates that the keycard has the access tier, while dark squares mean that it doesn't.

Keycards must be equipped to be used. To equip a keycard, open the inventory by pressing Tab ↹, then select the keycard with Left Click. Then approach a door that requires a keycard and press E.

SCPs can open up checkpoints by themselves. Any other keycard door can only be opened by SCP-079 or a Human.

It should be noted that while the O5 Keycard is the best keycard in the game, it is not the best idea to go for it as it takes some time to obtain. It is often best to stop at a Facility Manager Keycard or a Commander Keycard as both of these can open most doors, with the Facility Manager being able to open the Nuke and 106's CC; while the Commander card can open the Emergency Power Stations and Armories.

Access Tiers

A lot of locations around Site-02 require a Keycard to open. Each door/object has an unique access tier granted to it. Keycards must have that tier to open said door/object. Bulletproof Locker №7 is the only object in-game that requires two different tiers to open. Below is a chart showing everything in-game that requires a keycard to open. The chart will show the name of the tier, the icon which represents that tier, and what keycards have access to that tier.

Trivia

• In older versions of the game, hovering over a keycard in your inventory would say what type of keycard it is, and what tier it was. For example, Janitor Keycard would say Containment Tier 1, Scientist Keycard would say Containment Tier 2, Commander Keycard said Security Tier 4. This was removed when the inventory HUD was reworked.
  • Interestingly enough, the Chaos Insurgency Access Device was listed as Administration Tier 3, despite the fact it isn't an official Foundation Keycard. Meanwhile, the Facility Manager keycard was listed as Administration Tier 2. Because of this, there is no Foundation keycard that is Administration Tier 3 in-game.
• Scanning the QR codes on the keycards will give you binary. When translated the message will be "Secure. Contain. Protect."
• There used to be Polish versions of every keycard in-game. These versions were based off the older appearance of a keycard if they had one.
