Code Lock

Deployable, Blueprint

One inventory slot holds 10 of the Code Lock, against 1 for most deployables.

No workbench, 15s, yields 1

Faster at a higher workbench: 7.5s at Workbench Level 1, 3.75s at Workbench Level 2 or 3.

Every player starts with this blueprint. Researching it anyway costs 10 scrap at a Research Table.

Code Lock recycling

What the Code Lock gives back in each recycler

Recycler Efficiency You get
Red recycler75%75 Metal Fragments
Green recycler (powered)60%60 Metal Fragments
Green recycler50%50 Metal Fragments
Yellow recycler40%40 Metal Fragments

The Code Lock breaks down into Metal Fragments.

A recycler takes them one at a time, so a full stack of 10 goes through in 10 cycles.

Figures are for one item in perfect condition. Each recycler’s name opens its full table at this item.

Code Lock stats, mechanics, and overview in Rust

In Rust, Code Lock is a deployable in the Construction category (item ID #1159991980, console shortname lock.code). In active play, it follows standard server rules for deployable gear across procedural maps. Inventory storage stacks up to 10 units per slot, and uncollected ground drops despawn after 5 minutes.

An electronic lock. Locked and unlocked with four-digit code.

  • Acquisition profile (game files): Uncraftable in vanilla Rust (0 loot tables, 0 downstream recipes)
  • Monument recycling yield: Radtown green units return 50% of ingredients (5s cycle), beating 40% yellow safe-zone units by +25%
  • Maintenance rule: Carries no condition wear bar and needs no bench maintenance
  • Conveyor & locker automation: Filter by category or shortname lock.code to auto-stock locker kits and storage boxes

Code Lock crafting, blueprint progression, and recycling in Rust

Crafting Code Lock in Rust takes 15 seconds by hand without a workbench, with all ballistics, crafting, and durability values read from the Rust game files. Shredding a spare copy at a green recycler recovers base materials at fifty percent yield (vs forty percent at safe-zone yellow units). Equipped and stored units carry no durability wear bar.

Where it sits

The Code Lock is one of the 181 deployables; Rust classifies it under the Construction inventory category.

How Code Lock compares to related construction in Rust

When comparing Code Lock against related construction in Rust, craft copies once the blueprint is unlocked (15 seconds per craft) and recycle surplus spares at an unpowered radtown green recycler (fifty percent base efficiency) rather than a safe-zone yellow recycler (forty percent efficiency) to maximize recovered materials.

Frequently asked questions about Code Lock in Rust

How do you get the Code Lock in Rust?

The Code Lock is crafted by hand from 100 Metal Fragments in Rust. It belongs to the Construction category under numeric ID 1159991980 across 61 construction and despawns after 5 minutes when dropped on a default server, with F1 console command inventory.giveid 1159991980 10.

What does the Code Lock recycle into in Rust?

The Code Lock recycles in Rust at an unpowered green recycler into 50 Metal Fragments. Monument green recyclers shred items one unit at a time on fast radtown cycles, whereas safe-zone yellow units trade lower material recovery for peacekeeper protection.

How long does the Code Lock take to craft in Rust?

The Code Lock takes 15 seconds to craft, down to 3.75 seconds at Workbench Level 2 or 3 in Rust. It belongs to the Construction category under numeric ID 1159991980 across 61 construction and despawns after 5 minutes when dropped on a default server.

How long does the Code Lock take to despawn in Rust?

Dropped on the ground in Rust, the Code Lock despawns after 5 minutes by default. Picking it back up into a player inventory or storing it inside a base container immediately resets that ground despawn timer, which the server scales by item rarity tier.

What is the item ID for the Code Lock in Rust?

The Code Lock has 32-bit signed item ID 1159991980 and shortname lock.code in Rust. Server plugins, custom loot tables, Vending Machine listings, and automated Industrial Conveyor filter strings reference these two identifiers under the Construction category (stack limit 10 units per slot).

What is the give command for the Code Lock in Rust?

Server administrators in Rust spawn the Code Lock in the F1 developer console with inventory.give lock.code 10 or inventory.giveid 1159991980 10 for 10 units. Both console spawn commands require administrator or moderator privileges on the server, while regular players can bind a quick-craft shortcut key instead.
