self storage

[Twogun]

whats the easiers way to open these doors? just wail on them with an axe?

[The cursed Jäger]

Sledgehammer. Destroy the door, loot, repeat. If you don't have one, leave and come back once you have one. That way, you save condition of your axe.

Yeah, axes are best but any melee weapon will do in a pinch. Unless you know for a fact that it's safe, you probably want to avoid sledging them. You don't want to be equipped with a super-slow weapon that has a minimum range, potentially while exhausted, when a zombie pops out.

Usually there is an open storage unit in the row, if you can drag a zombie or two into that open unit, there is a good chance they will have a key to the whole row of storage units. It's a little risky but worth it if you can get one or two zombies by themselves to follow you.

why do you need a zombie to be IN the storage unit? will the key only spawn if you kill them in there?

Yeah, that's right. Any zombie that dies inside a building has a chance to drop the "house" key to that building. It's also a good strategy for police station gun storage rooms and such. It's a little bit of an exploit (says the guy who sometimes moves radios to find the emergency station) but it does work well.

hmm. that seems immensely gamey.

oh well. you know i'll still try it...

Don’t forget you can disassemble normal doors too, if need be.

I dont have problems using hammers. They are far more abundant than axes.

[Oragepoilu]

Even a basic hammer (or the other small hammer that aren't used for building) can destroy any door - just keep wacking it. You barely lose any durability, if any, and there is plenty of them.
Just use whatever you find and wouldn't use for a weapon (you don't really want to waste your time using different type because of skill anyway). Well, maybe don't try with a fork but you get my point.
You can check the wiki, there is a list of weapon with their door damage. (https://pzwiki.net/wiki/Weapons/Build_41)
if it looks too pointy or edgy you will waste quite a bit of time and/or durability,so use somewhat big or blunt with the exception of pipe (lead pipe, metal bar, metal pipe - they all sucks against doors)

You're playing a game... tf you expect? anyway sarcasm aside. Its a "bug" with how spawning works.
