Science checks never seem to work?

I tried upping it to 132% and I still couldn't get the bloody door on the first level of the Glow open after dozens of attempts. I did it once before with a lower skill level. I seriously cannot figure out if my character is ever able to open something. I mean is everything that you can try, able to be successfully scienced or whatever? Is there any bug that just makes it impossible? Does it take half an hour to do it?

From the nearly ultimate Fallout guide:

To the northeast there's a stuck door which can be opened if your ST is 8 or if the sum of your ST, AG and LK is at least 18.

From the nearly ultimate Fallout guide:

I have 10 STR, AG, and LK actually...to the northeast? The elevator door is at the bottom of the map, which I assume means south.

Oh, you didn't specify which door in your first post.
How about this then?

Use the Yellow Pass Key on the elevator door to deactivate the trap (unless you'd rather use Traps and then Lockpick on the door for some minor xp).

Oh yeah XD
Now if only I could remember where else I was struggling. Ah well.
