Struggling with the padlock in Floors Have Teeth? Here’s how to fix the radio, find the correct frequency, and unlock the door using the radio code.

Are you trying to open the locked gate in the basement of Floors Have Teeth but cannot figure out what to do with the radio? Don’t worry. This guide breaks it all down step by step so you can get the code, unlock the gate, and continue your escape without missing a beat.
Where To Find the Radio in Floors Have Teeth
You’ll first find the radio after passing the large fan room in the creepy basement. It’s next to a cot, with a guy lying still and the words “He is sleeping” written on the wall.
When you try to use the radio, it won’t work properly. It’s missing the frequency knob. You’ll need to fix that before you can do anything with it.
How To Fix the Radio
Here’s what you need to do to repair the radio:
- Find the Mortuary Key – Look in the bathtub in the room next door.
- Open the Lockers – Use the Mortuary Key to unlock them and grab the Cross-Shaped Key.
- Access the Jail Area – Use the Cross-Shaped Key to open the jail.
- Get the Frequency Knob – It’s in a drawer under a TV in the first jail room.
Now return to the radio, and it should work once you install the knob. But you’ll still need to find the right frequency.
Where to Find the Radio Frequency

You’ll need a hammer first:
- Find the Hammer – It’s stuck in a body in the basement.
- Use the Hammer – Look for a boarded-up door near the bottom floor. (Take a right after heading downstairs.)
- Remove the Boards – Use the hammer to pry out the nails and open the room.
- Check the Paper – Inside the room is a note with the radio frequency number.
How to Use the Radio Code in Floors Have Teeth
Once you have the frequency, you must return to the radio and tune it to the number on the note. And if it’s correct, you’ll hear a muffled voice reading a three-digit code. Then, you must write down what you hear carefully. The clarity of the sound is not the most pristine, so be ready to guess similar-sounding numbers if needed.
Unlocking the Padlock
With the three-digit code:
- Go to the locked gate (called Old Door in-game) in the basement.
- Enter the code you heard on the radio.
- If it doesn’t work the first time, try similar numbers (e.g., three could be eight).
- Once it unlocks, pull the lever inside to open up the jail cells, including the one where the NPC talked about the radio.
That’s All You Need
The radio puzzle in Floors Have Teeth might seem like a minor side quest, but it’s actually key to progressing through the basement and opening up new paths. So long you follow the steps, find the parts, tune in, and listen closely, you’ll be out of there in no time. Good luck staying alive down there.
