The Call of Duty Modern Warfare 4 campaign hides several locked doors, safes, toolboxes, and shipping containers that you can open using codes. Some contain useful collectibles, while others hold notes and contraband that you need for completion-related achievements. There are 13 codes to find across four campaign missions. You can solve the puzzles yourself by searching for clues, or use the codes in this guide to open every lock without wasting time. Here's how to find every locked door, safe, toolbox, and shipping container in Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 4, along with their codes and clue locations.
Note: There are four missions with multiple objectives and achievements.
