📊 Pros & Cons
✅ Pros
- Community-approved with 215 endorsements and over 87k downloads.
- Solves the annoying guesswork of which key fits which lock.
- Tiny mod that doesn't bloat your load order.
⚠️ Cons
- Last updated in 2022, so it may not be compatible with the latest Skyrim updates or mods.
- Only works if you have the key in your inventory—no help for keys you haven't found yet.
- Potential conflicts with other UI or lock-related mods that alter the same interface elements.
For Skyrim players who are tired of carrying a dozen keys and guessing which one opens a door. It's a must-have for hoarders and completionists who loot everything. Skip if you never bother with locks or if you use a mod that already shows key names.
💡 Beginner Tips

- If you use a mod manager, let it handle the file placement to avoid overwriting.
- Test on a locked door early to confirm the key name appears as expected.
