Unless I am mistaken, the story is "The Pirate Planet".

BTW, "The Pirate Planet" is one of the few stories in which the sonic screw-
driver fails to open a door.  Before you argue, let me remind you that while
the door did open, it was not from a result of the sonic screwdriver unlocking
it.  From the Doctor's (#4) reaction, we are lead to believe that he did not
cause it to open, he just wants to take credit for it.  
Can anyone name the other shows where the Doctor's little helper didn't?
