Locks?

Has anyone figured out locks yet?
What is required, aside from the skill? Can you make copies of keys?

Make a lock and attach it to doors. You get master keys and you can make slave keys out of wood. Master keys can open doors from both inside and outside. Slave keys can only open the door from the inside, so if the player with it dies and loses it, whoever steals the key can't use it to break in.

That is... weird, so in order to lock and leave you have to take your master key?

No, slave keys can still lock the gate from the outside. They just can't open it.

So when you respawn back near your base, how do you get in if you spawn outside and the gate is locked? - if you die i mean

How does the game detect which direction is inside and which is outside?

When placing the door you can decide that.

Don't leave your hearthfire inside of a house, as that traditionally has blocked spawning on/near it. Maybe it no longer does in Hafen but I haven't found out yet.
