=== [[File:door.png|64px|link=Airlock]] [[File:glassdoor.png|64px|link=Airlock]] [[File:Airlock2.png|64px|link=Airlock]] [[Airlock]]s ===

Both internal and external access airlocks are hackable. Wires are randomized at the start of each round, but are standardized throughout the station, e.g. every orange wire might toggle the bolts. This is probably where you'll be doing the most of your hacking. Remember, cutting power to the door will stop everything else from working.

# [[Engineering_items#Screwdriver|Screwdriver]] [[File:Screwdriver_tool.png]] in hand, click on the airlock to open the panel and expose the wiring.
# With [[Engineering_items#Multitool|multitool]] [[File:Multitool.png]], [[Engineering_items#Wirecutters|wirecutters]] [[File:Wirecutters.png]], or an empty hand, click on the airlock to access the wiring.
# Hold a [[Engineering_items#Multitool|multitool]] [[File:Multitool.png]] in your active hand and click "pulse" to pulse a wire, or hold [[Engineering_items#Wirecutters|wirecutters]] [[File:Wirecutters.png]] and click "cut" to cut a wire. 
# [[Engineering_items#Screwdriver|Screwdriver]] [[File:Screwdriver_tool.png]] the door again to shut the panel. 

* There are two main power wires and two auxiliary power wires.
* Disabling any main power wire (by pulsing or cutting) will make the backup (auxiliary) power work after 10 seconds. Disabling both a main and an auxiliary power wire will make door lose power until either main or auxiliary power is restored.
** If the door is unpowered, it can be opened with a [[Engineering_items#Crowbar|crowbar]] [[File:Crowbar.png]], unless the bolts are down.
* Disabling AI connection will make [[AI|AI]] and [[Cyborg|Cyborgs]] unable to interact with this door. [[AI|AIs]] can still hack a door by clicking it. It takes around a minute, and once the door is hacked, they'll be able to use it forever, even without AI connection wire.

==== Airlock Strategies ====

* '''Use [[Engineering_items#Multitool|multitool]] [[File:Multitool.png]] to bolt doors open'''. First find two wires of importance: The bolts wire, and one of the main power wires. Pulse a random door to find those wires. If you get shocked, close that hacking window and move on to another door. Once you've found the two wires you need, head to an unbolted door, pulse the power wire, [[Engineering_items#Crowbar|crowbar]] [[File:Crowbar.png]] it open, then pulse the bolt wire. This will permanently bolt the door open, until someone fixes it. If a door is bolted, pulse the bolts wire, and go and then a power wire to be able to [[Engineering_items#Crowbar|crowbar]] [[File:Crowbar.png]] it.
* '''Use [[Engineering_items#Multitool|multitool]] [[File:Multitool.png]] to make the door stay open for a minute. Do this by first finding and pulsing a main power wire, then wait 10 seconds to see if auxiliary power turns on. If it doesn't go to another door and pulse the main power wire there. When auxiliary power is on (test light on), pulse wires until it turns off again. You have now found an auxiliary power wire. Then go to the door you wish to hack, pulse both the main and auxiliary power wire, then [[Engineering_items#Crowbar|crowbar]] [[File:Crowbar.png]], and it will stay open at at least nearly a minute. 
* '''Ghetto hacking''' involves accessing a useless airlock and cutting all of the wires in order until the bolts drop, making a note of the wire you just cut. Keeping this in mind, you can now open restricted doors by cutting all the wires except the bolt control and then crowbarring that fucker open. Useful if you don't have a multi-tool. Note that this is a bad idea if you lack gloves.
* '''Open ID restricted doors''' by pulsing a main power wire and then crowbarring it open. If it's bolted, be sure to pulse the bolt wire before you kill the power, since you can't bolt/unbolt an unpowered door. 
* '''Create a pain-in-the-ass-obstacle''' by dropping the bolts, cutting all the wires, and then welding the door shut. This is especially effective if you happen to have the only pair of insulated gloves on the station.
* '''Remotely pulse an airlock''' by attaching a [[General_items#Remote_Signaling_Device|signaler]], which when signaled pulses the wire it's attached to. This allows you to remotely bolt and unbolt a door, for instance. 


==== Secure airlocks ====

Some airlocks are more secure than normal, and their wire panel is covered by a layer of shielding. To see the airlock's security level, examine it.
There are 3 levels of airlock security:<br>
* '''Normal security'''
Normal airlocks, they have no additional security.
* '''Medium security'''
To create a medium security airlock, use 2 sheets of '''metal''' on a normal airlock with an open panel.<br>
No change in door resistance.<br>
To access the wire panel, you need to:
# Open the panel with a '''[[Engineering_items#Screwdriver|screwdriver]] [[File:Screwdriver_tool.png]]'''.
# Slice through the wires' protection with a '''[[Engineering_items#Welding_Tool|welding tool]]''' [[File:Welder.png]].
# Proceed as normal.

* '''High security'''
To create a high security airlock, use 2 sheets of '''plasteel''' on a normal airlock with open panel.<br>
Armor is multiplied by 1.5, making the door harder to destroy through brute force.<br>
To access the wire panel, you need to:
# Open the panel with a '''[[Engineering_items#Screwdriver|screwdriver]] [[File:Screwdriver_tool.png]]'''.
# Cut through the '''electrified''' protective grille with '''[[Engineering_items#Wirecutters|wirecutters]] [[File:Wirecutters.png]]'''. If you don't wear insulated gloves, you may get shocked.
# Slice through the outer layer of plasteel using a '''[[Engineering_items#Welding_Tool|welding tool]]''' [[File:Welder.png]].
# Remove the outer plasteel layer with a '''[[Engineering_items#Crowbar|crowbar]]''' [[File:Crowbar.png]].
# Slice through the inner layer of plasteel using a '''[[Engineering_items#Welding_Tool|welding tool]]''' [[File:Welder.png]].
# Remove the inner plasteel layer with a '''[[Engineering_items#Crowbar|crowbar]]''' [[File:Crowbar.png]].
# Proceed as normal.
