A door or area is secured by a lock that uses a sound to open the lock, including a spoken phrase.

<meta charset="UTF-8"/>
The fact that it sounds an awful lot like [[Open Says Me|"Open Says-A-Me"]] is a coincidence: the phrase comes from Arabic, and the pun doesn't work, but the translation remains the same: "Iftaḥ yā Simsim" are the traditional words, and they literally mean "Open, Simsim." Simsim is Arabic for sesame. The use of "simsim" is a just a random word, which makes sense; [[The Password Is Always Swordfish|why would you make the magic words to a secret chamber of riches something anyone could figure out?]]

After trying every trick he knows, he gets so frustrated he wonders if opening it isn't something as stupid as yelling "Open Sesame!" It is.

* ''[[Sneakers]]'' has a voiceprint lock that requires a specific phrase; unlike in ''Shadowrun'', it ends up being possible to beat the lock with a tape recorder.

* ''[[The Bourne Ultimatum]]'' has [[The Dragon|Noah Vosen]] keep all his incriminating documents in a safe with a voiceprint lock. [[Idiot Ball|Rather stupidly]], the phrase he uses is his own name {{spoiler|and he answers his phone in the exact same way}}.

* At the end of ''[[The Hot Rock]]'', Dortmunder finally gets the sought-after diamond after a bank guard was given a hypnotic suggestion. He casually utters the key words "Afghanistan banana stand" to the guard - there's some tension as the guard doesn't ''act'' hypnotized, but he does follow instructions and hands over the diamond.

* In ''[[Aladdin (Disney film)|Aladdin]] and the King of Thieves'', this is naturally the way to open up the entrance to the Forty Thieves' lair. The ocean parts and a stone road running out to a large offshore rock formation forms. And then a crack opens in the rock formation, leading to the lair.

* The name of this trope comes from the tales of "[[Ali Baba and the Forty Thieves]]", where the 40 Thieves hide their stolen loot in a cave. The entrance uses a rock that moves only when you say, "Open Sesame" (Ali Baba follows them there).

** [[Older Than Radio]]: Though often included in editions of ''The [[Arabian Nights]]'', the oldest known version of Ali Baba is an 18th-century French translation by Antoine Galland.

** In "The Invasion of Time", there was a hidden doorway that opened when a particular phrase was spoken. The phrase was "There's nothing more useless than a door with a voice lock."

** In "Battlefield", the door is keyed to the Doctor saying "Open up -- it's me."
<div id="mw-head">
** Played with in "The Doctor's Wife", where Amy and Rory are told that the key to a door is "crimson eleven delight petrichor", but saying it doesn't work: {{spoiler|the door has a telepathic interface, and the key is to ''think'' the meaning of each word in turn}}.
<div id="p-personal" role="navigation" class="" aria-labelledby="p-personal-label">
* An episode of ''[[Leverage]]'' has a safe with a voice activated lock. The thieves get in by being able to record every possible sound from the safe's owner by getting him to say the name of a very complicated French dish, then have him drop the F-bomb when he realizes it's raw shrimp.
<h3 id="p-personal-label">Personal tools</h3>
* An episode of ''[[The Muppet Show]]'' has a sketch involving Fozzie Bear trying to get into Ali Baba's cave. "Open Sesame" is repeatedly invoked, and eventually results in a whole bunch of ''[[Sesame Street]]'' characters emerging from the cave.

* In one episode of ''[[Stargate Atlantis]]'' trhe door to a scientist's hidden lab is activated by tapping three light sconces, each of which emits a different tone.

* The PC adventure ''[[King's Quest V]]'' has a treasury used by a band of thieves open with the very same phrase as the title of this trope, most likely as a shout out to ''[[Arabian Nights]]'', given the series' tendency to reuse fairy tales in their plots.

* In one episode of ''[[Dexter's Laboratory]]'', the titular laboratory only opens when you use the spoken password "[[Star Wars]]". Any other phrase, such as ''Omelette de fromage'', won't work and will only increase the security around the lab {{spoiler|including the self-destruct}}.
</div>
* Used amusingly in ''[[WALL-E]]'', when Auto prompts the captain for voice confirmation, he replies "Huh?" - which, of course, is accepted.

* Mr. Krabs used a voice-activated lock in one episode of ''[[SpongeBob SquarePants]]'', "Jellyfish Hunter", on the enclosure with all the jellyfish he had Spongebob capture. However, while telling Spongebob about the lock he says "The door is voice-activated, and will only open if I say 'open'." You can guess what happens next.
