The first padlock combination puzzle appears in Scene 10 of Tape 1, titled 'Lights, Camera, Action!'. After completing the Forest Girls Memoir, proceed through the park and navigate between two large boulders. You'll then pass by a wire fence adorned with love locks, including one belonging to Corey and Dylan.
To unlock it, you'll need a four-digit code, which you won't find until Scene 24. Search Corey’s bag on his bike in the parking lot to find a Polaroid photo with the caption indicating their anniversary date: August 27, 1994. This date is your code.
Use the Scene Selection Menu and Collectible Mode to revisit Scene 10, input 0827 into the lock to unlock it and earn the hidden 'Heartbreak' achievement/trophy.

In Scene 13 of Tape 1, titled 'Cabin in the Woods', you'll find the second padlock puzzle. To escape the cabin and continue the story, you need to unlock the front door padlock using visual hints from an Old Sheet on a wooden beam.
The first dial is already set, so focus on the remaining three symbols:
- Second symbol: Head to the kitchen and pull the rope handle to access the attic. Turn around to see a crescent moon symbol on the wall.

Return to the front door and enter these symbols to unlock it, allowing the story to progress.

The final padlock puzzle is in Scene 24 of Tape 1, titled 'Riot Grrrls'. As you set up for a concert at Blue Spruce Bar, you'll need to find a power source. The gate on the left side of the parking lot has a padlock requiring a sequence of cardinal directions.
The solution is near Corey’s bike. Examine the bag and find a Pager with a slip of paper underneath. Flip it over to see a sequence of arrows, which is your code for the gate lock.
Input this sequence to unlock the gate, granting access to the bar's employee area, where you can find items like the Extension Cord, Power Outlet, and solve the Breaker Panel puzzle to restore power.
