how to break a wooden door with lock....

[Royal]

So if I die and lose the key I can never replace it without breaking it? it's not even the front door its just part of the base thats annoying as i cant get upstairs but can access the forge etc lol

Yup. Most people I know don't even bother with key locks, they just suck. Wait to build until you can make a codelock. If you insist on using key locks, put a stash outside near your base with an extra key in case you get killed.

Seems like a weirdly broken part of the game, make a key, lose it and you have no way of removing the door unless you break it which requires many hatchets or pickaxes... this wood must be super ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥ hard grade

just dont use key locks, or get a buddy to wait in your base with a key opening the door for you until you can get a codelock

Currently solo playing, think I picked a weird server though as nobody has ever spoken everyone is KoS even if you are naked lol

You gotta use codelocks, these stupid locks can ♥♥♥♥ you over easily if you don't make more than 1 key.

Yeah if you use a key lock make like 2 of those stash crates. The ones you can bury in the ground and store extra keys in them. I usely won't build till i can make a sheet metal door and a codelock though. All yeah if you have a bag in the house make sure to keep a box in there with a couple extra keys as well so you don't get locked in. If you die and spawn back in your house.

Lock is not "weirdly broken" ...locks require keys. Seems to work fine.

Was wondering if anyone was going to say this. If you're going with a key lock, and assuming you have a sleeping bag IN your house, you better have a couple keys inside and at least one in a stash outside. As soon as you can make a sheet metal door and a code lock, remove the key lock, open the door, remove the door, place new sheet metal door on, place code lock, set the code. Then wait a few minutes before it gets C4'ed and you get to start all over again, enjoy!!

In way it is broken you make the lock and key so why can't you make a new one from either side of the door? You can't do it from the inside or outside inless you have a key already. Here the thing i know many are going to say well you need the key to copy it. Then let me ask you this how the hell did you make the 1st one.

You can replace the key if you want. There are only 100 combinations for keylocks. So if you make 100 locks and 1 key of each lock. One of the 100 keys fits your lock. But if you've got a wooden door, break the door with some hatchets. In the future you'll make codelocks and metal sheet doors instead.

You can make more than one key for a lock. And with a hidden stash you could secure one of your keys outside your base. But most players make codelocks...

I'm on a vanilla server and I'm only like 6 hours in solo... I don't have the spare metal to just constantly make hatchets and throw them away as I can't get a repair bench :')

Or you make stone or metal hatchets and break the door. Or you make 100 locks and the keys to open the lock. It's your choice to make ;)

It will be nice if we have picklock ... you know from metal and other things to open locks

Dream on :p

[Ajwenjr]

But just that with keys :D not Codelocks :D

And you know some minigame to open it ... Just like in splinter cell lockpicking ... that take time and need precision ...
