Locked Doors

[blademan619]

Ok so I know locked doors are more "realistic", although I doubt every person running for their lives would remember to lock their doors, but ill give the benefit of doubt, they are realistic. However, why the hell cant I unlock the door, or any locked door, once I get inside? Usually You can unlock a door once you are on the inside, someone correct me if im wrong. Also why is there no glass doors? A lot of places have glass doors, why are there none of those?

MY opinion? once you break a hole in the door, you should be able to hold "E" and select unlock.

Ok, this has been answered already but I'll do it again lol.
My job is manufacturing doors and windows, I've been doing it for many years, now I can only talk about the UK market here. this applies to modern doors not the older rim lock style of door. Unless the owner of said house has left the key in the lock, even you breaking a hole through the door to be able to reach in, you couldnt unlock it, you need a key, of course if the owner had left the key in the lock then they couldnt have locked it from the outside, the only exception I know of to this rule is if the lock is fitted with a thumb turn cylinder, that is a style of lock that has a knob fitted to the point where a key would typically insert, that kind of lock doesnt require a key inside and yes breaking a hole through the door and reaching through will allow you to turn said lock and open the door.

I would like glass stairs and glass doors - maybe even glass furniture - wanted it in minecraft and never got it.

Actually, not all doors are locked, I've seen a friend hammer away at a door and I just opened it lol. But yes, most are locked. Keep in mind this is all alpha, it's all still basic. There have already been many suggestions about types of doors, lockpicking etc.

There should be option to lockpick door not placed by players, by that I mean any door other than the craftable. The other thing is that people should be able to silently open any containers, for cost of 3x (or more) longer operation time

[deathfromabove52]

check all doors some are open . maybe adding a lockpick be an idea,

i agree 100%.. except in the big apartment buildings. I've lived in a couple big apartment buildings like that, and they tend to not have the turning lock knob on the inside - this prevents residents from locking themselves out accidently.. you use the dead-bolt while inside... I'm in the practice of always using my key to lock my door, even when i don't have to; it means I always have key in hand and will never lock myself out :D

if the door is really locked you cant just open it from the other side, you would need the key or pick the lock which should be a silent alternative for breaking it open, maybe they'll add it

I agree, a lot of modern office buildings and stores do not have those type of locks, however in normal houses, idk how it is in UK, but in the US it usually has the deadbolt nob to turn, so assuming you made a big gaping hole in the door, you could easily reach in and turn it and bam, doors unlocked.

Also a lot of doors on the inside of buildings are like that, even in office buildings, where you can turn the lock on the inside and open in, or on some doors where it wont turn on the outside, but your able to turn the handle and open it on the inside. But I also understand that this game is still in early access so it is still being worked on.


On a side note, another thing I would really like, when there is a 1x1 hole in a doorway, window, etc, you should be able to crawl/climb through the hole at a very slow pace, that way you can sneak in and out of buildings without having to demolish the whole front wall just to get in (Sarcasm)

Cause bashing down a door is more fun then just fumbling through your locking picking hoping your safety pin can pick the lock while a zombie is beating on you in the process.

Zombie wouldnt know your there if you were not making the sounds of a train while opening a door.
