exchange door nob / change doors

[Crashdummy11880]

You ever had door where you cant find the key for?

 

Why do we have to tear down the door and build a new one to just change the Key for a door?

 

It would be nice to just exchange the lock/door knob of a door instead of the entire door.

Yes, that'd certainly simplify things.

 

Perhaps auto-pair a doorknob and a key if both are present in your inventory, too?

[Magic Mark]

I agree - replacing the nice, pretty white door with a window pane in exchange for a shoddy, home-made door has been something that has troubled me since the lock update arrived.

 

Would be cool to get this implemented.

In addition to that it would be nice if you could just take doors with you from other houses to replace the broken door in your house

Definitely want to be able to replace door knobs without breaking down the door and occasionaly the wall or the door frame in my base.

 

I like the way you're going with this  Or at least show door knob you have a key for in yellow while the list is opened? (akin to how doors work at the moment)

[Crashdummy11880]

To exchange a doorkno you should need just a screwdriver.

 

I would like to combine matching knobs and keys but wont need the auto function, just the option to combine to store them.

yes, sounds wonderful! Are padlocks a thing? if so, they would be very useful

[DresdenBBQ]

Yeah padlocks are kind of essential in this case because the whole point of the door is to keep zombies and players out of your base, and whats the point of locking a door with a key, if a player can walk up and take of your door knob, perhaps the door has to be open and not closed? Because it has to be open if you've ever taken off a doorknob before.

Not strictly true. You can take the knob or handle off most types of door without it being open. The insides, containing the locking mechanism can only be removed when the door is open but its possible to force or kick the door open then change the locks and fix up thw door if necessary.

There is a mod on the workshop that allows easy key/locking.

huh, I mean it's possible, the doors i have on my house only allow you to take off the door knob if the door is opened, but doorknobs & doors differ so. 

Also the second part is true but this is project zomboid, you can't kick down doors so if they were to add it into the game at some point/someone make a mod, it wouldn't make much of a difference.
