The Swinging Door Lock is an inventory item from the Baldi's Basics series.

Description

The Swinging Door Lock is a photo-realistic lock with silvery-tinted colors and a somewhat rectangular yellow sticker.

In Baldi's Basics Classic and Birthday Bash, this item is named as "Yellow Door Lock".

Usage

Locked swinging door

The Swinging Door Lock when used.

Its use is to lock any swinging door in the Schoolhouse or Super Schoolhouse, hence the name. It prevents any character, including the player, from getting through the door from either side. When the Swinging Door Lock is applied to the door, Baldi and the other characters who are trying to get to the player will try to find another way to them. The Swinging Door Lock can only stay on the swinging door for 30 seconds, but for the player, it is most useful if they have more notebooks and they are running away from Baldi, unless he finds a shortcut to the player.

Other appearances

  • In Baldi's Basics Birthday Bash, the Swinging Door Lock can randomly be found in either presents or Crazy Item machines. Like in Classic, it also lasts for only 15 seconds when used.
  • In Baldi's Basics Full Game Early Demo, the Swinging Door Lock is located in the faculty room where the button used to rotate the roto-hall is found.

Trivia

General

  • The Swinging Door Lock is likely a brass padlock decoration by Grayson Lane.

Baldi's Basics Plus

  • If the player locks a swinging door while being pursued by Baldi (assuming he is on the other side), when he begins to move down a different route, if the player does not make any sounds after the Swinging Door Lock expires, Baldi will continue his current path, despite the new (shorter) one opening up. However, Baldi will still chase the player through the shortcut if they are seen after it expires.
  • The player can temporarily lock Baldi in place by locking the swinging door to the outdoor area. This, however, will involve hiding from Baldi first.

Baldi's Basics Classic/Birthday Bash

  • The item's name is "Yellow Door Lock," possibly due to fact that the swinging doors are yellow.
  • For some reason, getting out-of-bounds before collecting 2 notebooks reveals that one swinging door at that time has a Swinging Door Lock in the dark hallway. This may mean that the three swinging doors near where the player starts were originally going to have the lock texture if the player had collected less than 2 notebooks.
    • Strangely enough, by inserting a Swinging Door Lock into the player's inventory (using hacks) before obtaining the 2nd notebook, it can be used on any swinging door except that one door.
    • If the Swinging Door Lock was used on any swinging door except the already locked door before collecting 2 notebooks, it will stay on that door until 2 notebooks are collected, further proving this theory.

Glitches

Baldi's Basics Plus

  • Rarely, the lock image on the swinging door does not appear even if using this item.

Baldi's Basics Classic

  • In V1.4, the item could not be used on three swinging doors in the starting hallway.
