Keep the Door Locked – All Anomalies List and Survival Guide

Keep the Door Locked has quickly become one of Roblox’s most talked-about horror experiences. The premise sounds simple. You sit alone in a hotel room after midnight and wait for morning. But strangers keep knocking, and some of them are not human at all.

Since its release, the game has pulled in millions of visits, and players keep sharing new anomaly sightings every day. We have reviewed the community findings and compiled a complete breakdown of every anomaly to watch for, along with tips that actually help you survive the night.

How the Anomaly System Works

The core idea behind Keep the Door Locked is to trust nobody until you have proof. Every visitor who knocks gives you a reason to open the door. Some are telling the truth. Others are anomalies wearing a human shape, and their stories usually do not add up.

You get three tools to catch them. The peephole shows you who is standing outside. The security cameras cover the hallway and stairs. Your own judgment fills in the rest. If a story feels off, or the visitor looks wrong on camera, the safest move is always to keep the door shut. A missed guest costs you nothing. A wrong guess can end your run.

What makes this game genuinely tense is how it plays with hesitation. You only get a few seconds to decide, so overthinking hurts you just as much as acting too fast. The best players build a routine. Check the camera first, listen to the knock, then decide. Skipping any one of those steps is usually where runs go wrong.

Full List of Anomalies in Keep the Door Locked

There are currently 20 confirmed anomalies in the game, each with its own tell. Here is the complete list.

• Translucent Guest, who appears see-through on the security camera
• Doppelganger, with a second copy of the visitor slumped against the wall
• Dead Doppelganger, whose lifeless body appears near the stairs
• Window Seeker, heard scratching and moaning outside the window

• Door Breaker, a gaunt creature that charges the door
• Spiders, which cling to the ceiling with egg sacs before exploding
• Shadow Man, a dark figure watching from the corner of the room
• Knife Killer, a visitor carrying a blade
• Silent Lady, a tall figure who stares silently through the door

• Vent Ghost, a man who drops from the vent and crawls around
• The Darkness, which covers your eyes and drags you into a void
• Bathroom Monster, which attacks anyone sleeping alone
• The cake anomaly, a harmless trolley snack that restores sanity
• Hacked laptop, which blocks your cameras until you pay to fix it
• Spasming limbs, a visitor whose body twitches uncontrollably
• Long limbs, marked by unnaturally stretched arms
• Neck Craner, whose head bends backward toward the ceiling
• Room Hider, a figure that hides somewhere inside your own room
• Headbanger, who slams their head against the door repeatedly

• Roach King, a giant cockroach that shows up when pizza is around

That is a long list to memorize, but you rarely need to recall every entry at once. Most nights only throw two or three anomalies at you, so pattern recognition matters more than pure memorization.

Reading the Warning Signs

Most anomalies fall into a handful of patterns, and once you notice that, the game gets far less overwhelming. Physical anomalies show up as visible distortions, things like see-through skin, limbs bent the wrong way, or a body that should not exist in the hallway. You catch these purely by watching closely.

Behavioral anomalies give themselves away through actions instead of appearance. The Door Breaker sprints and pants before it hits the door. The Headbanger repeats the same motion over and over. Neither one hides what it is, so your job is simply to notice and react in time.

Then there are the environmental anomalies, and these are the trickiest because they punish inaction. The Window Seeker needs you to open the curtain and look. The Bathroom Monster only backs off if someone else is sleeping in the room with you. Ignoring these does not keep you safe. It usually makes things worse.

A detail players often miss is the audio layer. Visitors sometimes describe things happening in your room that simply are not true, and legitimate guests keep a steady tone throughout. Anomalies occasionally slip into a distorted voice mid-sentence. Training your ear to catch that shift can warn you before the camera even confirms it.

Survival Tips for Every Night

Surviving Keep the Door Locked comes down to discipline more than reflexes. A few habits make a real difference across every run.

• Check the cameras before you check the peephole, since some anomalies only reveal themselves on screen
• Treat every claim from a visitor as unverified until the room or the footage backs it up
• Keep the curtains closed unless something outside forces you to look
• Never assume silence means safety, since some anomalies wait quietly before acting
• Sleep with company whenever possible instead of risking a solo night

None of these tips guarantee a perfect run, and that is intentional. The game wants you uncertain. Accepting that discomfort, rather than fighting it, is honestly what makes the experience so effective.

Final Thoughts

Keep the Door Locked rewards patience over instinct. The anomalies are unsettling, but they all follow rules once you learn to read them. Stay alert, trust the evidence in front of you, and treat every knock with a little suspicion. That mindset is what separates players who see sunrise from those who do not.
