You need a key to open locked drawers in Resident Evil 4 remake. This sounds incredibly simple, but keys are hard to come by while you play and even harder to hold onto as you travel to the locked drawer you want to unlock.
Every locked drawer requires a Small Key, which can usually be found in an area attached to the one where the locked drawer is located. If you look at the in-game map as you play, you’ll be able to tell which areas these are because no doors prevent you from returning to the locked drawer.

Small Keys can be used in any locked drawer. So if you pick one up in an area and forget about it until much later in the game, you can still use it. They can be found in various places throughout the game, so search every shelter, house, and container. Even briefcases can have them inside.
If you find one, though, you should try to remember where you last saw a locked drawer because it’s worth backtracking to get any treasure you might have missed. We found an elegant Mask in one drawer that can be upgraded and sold for a lot of cash.
