The Care Center is full of locked doors, grim discoveries, and rewards worth chasing. The Examination Room Safe is one of the earliest locked containers you'll encounter, and cracking it open rewards you with Antique Coins you'll want for upgrades at the Parlor. Here's everything you need to know to get it open without wasting time.
What Is the Examination Room Safe Combination?
The short answer: Right 30, Left 10, Right 50. That's the full combination, and it works on every playthrough regardless of difficulty. Capcom locked this one in as a fixed code, so you won't need to hunt down a clue if you already have this guide open.

tip
Both Casual and Normal difficulty use the same combination. There are no alternate codes for different playthroughs.
How to Open the Examination Room Safe Step by Step
Once you're standing in front of the safe, here's the exact process to get it open:
- Walk up to the safe tucked into the southeast corner of the Examination Room on the 1st Floor of the Care Center.
- Press your interact button (X on PlayStation, A on Xbox, E on PC) to access the combination dial.
- Spin the dial to the right until the number reads 30.
- Reverse direction, spinning left until you land on 10.
- Spin the dial back to the right one final time until it reaches 50.
- Pull the handle to swing the safe open.
warning
Do not pull the safe handle between dial inputs. The lock resets if you interact with the handle before completing all three numbers in sequence. Enter the full combination first, then pull.
Where to Find the Combination Clue
If you prefer to discover things organically, the in-game hint is waiting for you in a small room directly adjacent to the Lead Researcher's Office. It's the first room on your right after you pick up the Level 1 ID Wristband, which grants access to that section of the Care Center's East Wing.
The note inside that room spells out the dial sequence. You don't need to decode anything or cross-reference other items, just read it and remember the numbers.
tip
Grab the Level 1 ID Wristband as early as possible when exploring the Care Center. It unlocks access to multiple rooms in the East Wing, including the area where this combination clue is found.

What Do You Get for Opening the Safe?
Popping the Examination Room Safe rewards you with 3 Antique Coins. These are a valuable currency you can spend at the Parlor, and two of the best early purchases are:
- Hip Pouch — expands your carrying capacity, letting you hold more items at once
- Stabilizer — improves your gun handling and firepower, making weapons more reliable in tight situations
Given how scarce resources can feel early in the game, those 3 Antique Coins are well worth the thirty seconds it takes to spin the dial.
All Care Center Safe Codes
The Examination Room isn't the only safe in the Care Center. Here's a quick reference for the other locked containers you'll encounter in the same area:

Safe codes for the Bar and Lounge and Basement are also fixed per playthrough. Tracking down their individual clue notes is the fastest way to confirm each sequence before you interact with the dial.
