SILENT HILL: Townfall Jane's Shed Code & Community Garden Key

Quick answer

1993. The padlock on Jane’s shed takes the four-digit year from Jane Chalmers’ plaque — she won the Community Spirit Award in 1993.

Find Jane’s shed

The Community Gardens hold two locked doors, and mixing them up is the confusion this page exists to fix:

• Jane’s shed — closed with the four-digit padlock. This page.
• The garden gate — described as one that “isn’t usually locked”, but is now. It does not take a code: it needs the Community Garden Key that happens to sit inside the shed.

So the order is fixed: shed first (code), gate second (key).

Read the correct plaque

Around the gardens, the planting beds carry plaques — names, dates, achievements. Almost none of them matter for the lock. The one you want:

• Near the bird table, on its bed.
• The plaque belongs to Jane Chalmers and names her the winner of the Community Spirit Award in 1993.

That year — 1993 — is the shed combination. PowerPyx’s walkthrough gives the same anchor from the other direction: the lock takes “the same year on the flower bed with the name Jane Chalmers on it”. If a plaque shows someone else’s award year, keep looking; there is more than one name on these beds.

Open the shed

Enter 1993 into the padlock. Inside the shed:

Item	Where	What it is for
Alcohol	In the shed	A crafting material — combines with Gauze into Sterilized Gauze (see the healing guide)
Note about Jane	In the shed	Story flavor; the Jane Chalmer’s Obituary here is also one of the 85 Discoveries
Community Garden Key	On a shelf to the right	Opens the garden gate

Find the key, open the garden exit

Take the Community Garden Key from the shelf, walk to the gate, and use it there — no code input, no second puzzle. The gate is the exit toward the St. Amelia Medical Centre and the next stretch of Zoe’s route.

The Part 2 walkthrough carries the chapter order from here — the garden exit leads toward Mr. Stewart’s house and the Medical Centre approach. If a call window is coming up on that stretch, the phone checklist covers which numbers are live in Part 2.

What this page rests on

Both sources read in full on 2026-09-24: GamesRadar’s shed guide and PowerPyx’s Part 2 collectible walkthrough independently agree on 1993 and the key-in-the-shed chain (GamesRadar adds the bird-table plaque and the Alcohol; PowerPyx names Jane Chalmers explicitly and places the key on the right-hand shelf) — that cross-source agreement earns the fully-verified badge on the code. Neither source reports the code varying between playthroughs, so no variation claim is made either way.
