What are the Safes?
Safes contain valuable items that are useful in the game. Some safes contain unique weapon attachments that you can get when you open the safe. There are only three safes in Resident Evil 3, and there are two additional lockers that require three-digit codes to open. The codes needed for each safe are typically close to the safe or locker room, but we will teach you the code locations and codes to enter to unlock the safes.

How to Open Yellow locks
Other items, including ammo and health items, are behind Yellow locks. To open the yellow locks, you need to find a specific lockpick. Collecting this lockpick is essential so you can unlock all the yellow locks in Resident Evil 3. Below is the guide on how to get the lockpick needed to open the Yellow locks.
Lockpick Location
To find the yellow locks’ lockpick, you need to reach the Subway Power Substation Area. Go down the stairs from the control room and walk to the end of the hall. Get the Case item on the dead body lying at the end of the hall. As Jill, grab the case and examine it on your inventory. Inventory space is limited in Resident Evil 3, but do not discard the lockpick. You can find several yellow locks that contain items that can help you throughout the game. Always look out for yellow locks and use the lockpick to open them. If there are no more yellow locks to open, you can discard the lockpick from your inventory. A trashcan icon will appear, indicating that you can discard the lockpick.
How to Cut Chains
Chains hide useful items and ammunition that you need to get through the game. However, to cut the chains, you need to get the bolt cutter. The bolt cutter is obtainable as long as you progress through the story, as it is mandatory for opening multiple chained doors and cabinets. While some chained doors are optional, opening them can give you useful items.
Bolt Cutter Location
Once you put out the Downtown Alley fire, you will proceed to a safe room. However, the door outside the safe room is chained and impossible to open. The bolt cutters are hanging on an open cabinet, and you need to get the cutter to open the door. Once you get the bolt cutter, interact with the lock, and use the bolt cutter. You can use the bolt cutters for other doors and cabinets that are chained.
