Able to open

Unlockable has two opposite meanings depending on how it's parsed.

Something unlockable can be capable of being unlocked: The door is unlockable with this key.

But it can also mean impossible to lock—without a functioning lock: The broken latch left the gate unlockable.

Context usually clarifies which sense applies.

In gaming, unlockable content refers to features or items that become accessible after meeting certain conditions: There are dozens of unlockable characters.
