How to unlock the RE: Master of Unlocking achievement in RESIDENT EVIL 3 - Definitive Guide

Here is a full locations guide for every file, Charlie doll, weapon, lock, safe, and locker in the game. This guide is done in chronological order of the game and with minimal spoilers. Enemies have been cleared out of most rooms in the game so be mindful of the rooms you are entering. Some back tracking is required in the Raccoon City Downtown area in order to fully get everything. While some of the locks and weapons are essentially unmissable in the game, others can be easily overlooked if you speed on by them.

Wait, do you not need weapon mods for any of the achievements besides the first one?

Nope, just the one and it is conveniently located in the first safe.

Think this has glitched. I've had the in-game record, but not the achievement...

Interesting, I have not heard of this glitching yet. Have you tried starting a new game and getting 1 or two of the requirements met to see if it registers?

Its like the Charlie dolls I think: not all needed in a single run. I forgot the safe in the hospital so I loaded (after finishing the game) my closest save near that forgotten one then I went opening it and the achievement popped!

The game stopped counting at 17 for me too. I followed the walkthrough to hit all of the locks. The lockpick correctly shows the disposal icon. I have the dot sight, Carlos' extra hip pouch, and the dual mag from the three safes.

Just following along your guide and so far, I have managed to get the achievements in the order mentioned. This is along with capturing the collectibles especially being very comprehensive too.

Will report back once I am completed the game. Making sure that no stone is left unturned.

EDIT: Just completed the story and unlocked all the achievements this guide has mentioned including all collectibles. Positive upvote from me.

Existem, ao todo, 20 locais que precisam ser abertos. Esses locais variam em tipo, incluindo cofres, armários, caixas-fortes e trancas. É necessário abrir todos os 20, sendo a maioria localizada no centro, na delegacia e no hospital. Essa tarefa não precisa ser concluída em uma única jogada, pois o progresso é salvo no seu perfil. Vale ressaltar que a contagem não é acumulativa, ou seja, é necessário abrir 20 itens diferentes, cada um pelo menos uma vez. Confira o guia abaixo:
