"Seal"

[Jackard]

that would mean having to extend your claim over all of your walls, which takes alot of skill points

Make smaller walls. Huge walls may look like a good idea now, but when you start repairing them you'll see just how wrong that is.

my walls are as small as possible, especially now that there are keyrings (remove keys)

most stuff doesnt need heavy duty walls, join a city if you want those

How about limiting the "seal" and "unseal" actions to claim owners/village members? No vandals, legitimate owners only. That avoids any mucking about with keys, which is both cumbersome and unrealistic.

I don't see how keys in cornerposts are unrealistic at all. At least no less realistic than the nice wooden locks you have on your palisade's gates.
