LockableDoors

Lock doors, gates and hatches in Valheim with keys. Only players carrying the right key can open a locked door — keep raiders and nosy vikings out of your base.

How it works

• Create a lockable door: hold the lock modifier (default Left Ctrl) while placing a door — its key(s) drop at your feet (DuplicateKeysOnCreate sets how many).
• Lock / unlock: hold Left Ctrl and interact with the door while carrying its key.
• Rename: hold the rename modifier (default Left Alt) and interact while carrying its key — door and key names update everywhere.
• Craft blank keys: forge, default cost 1 Bronze (recipe/station configurable).
• Copy a key: hold the copy modifier (default B) and interact with a locked door while carrying its key — a blank key in your inventory becomes a bound copy to share with clanmates.

Works in multiplayer and on dedicated servers. Everything is configurable via the BepInEx config (aedenthorn.LockableDoors.cfg) or an in-game configuration manager.

Installation

Install with r2modman (recommended) — BepInEx is pulled in automatically. Manual: drop LockableDoors.dll into BepInEx/plugins/.

Changelog

0.6.3

Craftable and copyable keys — the listing finally does what the description promised.

• Blank door keys can now be crafted at the forge (default cost 1 Bronze; recipe, station, and station level are all configurable).
• Copy a key: hold the copy modifier (default B) and interact with a locked door while carrying its key — a blank key in your inventory becomes a bound copy.
• Blank keys show their own name and a tooltip explaining how to bind them.
• Keys no longer stack, preventing keys for different doors from merging.

0.6.2

Compatibility fix — LockableDoors works on the current version of Valheim again.

• Restored all door interactions: creating a lockable door, spawning its keys, and locking/unlocking had stopped working after recent Valheim updates.
• Updated the door-placement hook to Valheim's renamed TryPlacePiece method.
• Fixed the key tooltip patch for Valheim's new GetTooltip method signature.
• Made patch registration resilient so a single future game change can no longer disable the whole mod.

0.6.1

• Maintenance release: bug fixes, Harmony patch cleanup, and multiplayer lock-state sync handling.
• First release published under the ValheimMods namespace.
