How to Lock Doors in Rust

Securing your base is essential in Rust, and one of the most fundamental ways to do this is by locking your doors. In this guide, we’ll walk you through the simple process of crafting and installing key locks on your doors to keep intruders out. Whether you’re new to Rust or just need a quick refresher, this tutorial will have you securing your property in no time.

Crafting a Key Lock

To get started, you’ll need to craft a key lock. Open your crafting menu and navigate to the construction section. Here you’ll find the key lock option. A standard key lock requires only 75 wood to craft.

Once you’ve crafted the lock, it will automatically be added to your inventory.

Installing the Lock on Your Door

Now that you have your key lock, you’re ready to install it on a door. First, hover over the lock in your inventory and add it to your hot bar for quick access.

Walk up to the door you want to secure, select the lock from your hot bar, and left click on the door. The lock will now be attached and visible on your door.

Locking and Unlocking Your Door

Once the lock is installed, you can easily control access to your base. When you lock the lock, it will turn red, indicating that the door is secure. With the door locked and closed, no one will be able to enter your base.

If you unlock the lock, people will be able to open the door freely. This is useful when you’re working on your base or allowing trusted teammates inside.

Removing the Lock

If you ever need to remove the lock from your door, make sure the door is in an open position. From there, press the unlock option on the door, and then select remove lock. The lock will be removed and returned to your inventory.

Summary

Locking doors in Rust is a straightforward process that plays a critical role in base defense. By crafting a key lock with just 75 wood and installing it on your doors, you can effectively prevent unauthorized access to your base. Remember to lock your doors when you’re not actively using them, and always keep your key locks maintained as part of your base security strategy.
