How can I lock a chest or a house?

Can I lock the door of a house or a chest? If I can, how do I do it?

Thanks!

Can't yet. Will happen at some point.

Locked house + current tracking system = godmode for griefers. This tracking system is bad already, do you need to make punishing criminals even worse? I thought that this game is all about consequences, not about building a "vault" and go for a griefing rampage like in rust-like games. Any chance of tracking system rework?

So when was the last time you busted into a vault? The last few I've seen, the walls are so close to the house there, you could just use the same ram to bust down the house, likely not even needing repairs. I don't think a lock on the house will benefit the black skills at all. Instead, it makes it harder for theives and such to get in and take things.

1st: Maybe redesign vault to match this? It's simply added 1 cheap (1 wooden block is way cheaper than 1 extra layer of wall) layer of defence to every vault: build wall a bit far from a house so punishers will have to ram twice.
2nd: I also asked about crime rework and you just ignored that. Still waiting for answer.
3rd: Harder = impossible? Then it'll ruin criminal system completely, ruin raid system, and if there will be a way to bypass locks, then what's the point of having one? You can still grind to get that (let's call it...) "lockpick" and get all this stuff from locked house.
