What the Key Lock gives back in each recycler
| Recycler | Efficiency | You get |
|---|---|---|
| Red recycler | 75% | 56 + 25% Wood |
| Green recycler (powered) | 60% | 45 Wood |
| Green recycler | 50% | 37 + 50% Wood |
| Yellow recycler | 40% | 30 Wood |
The Key Lock breaks down into Wood.
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. “56 + 25%” means 56 every time and a 25% chance of one more.
In Rust, Key Lock is a deployable in the Construction category (item ID #-850982208, console shortname lock.key). 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.

Crafting Key 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.
The Key Lock is one of the 181 deployables; Rust classifies it under the Construction inventory category.
When comparing Key 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.
| Item | Category | Stack Limit | Craft / Source | Tech Tree / Research | Green Recycler Yield |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Key Lock | Construction | 10 per slot | Crafted by hand | 10 scrap (Table) | Not recyclable |
| Code Lock | Construction | 10 per slot | Crafted by hand | 10 scrap (Table) | Not recyclable |
| Large Water Catcher | Construction | 1 per slot | Workbench Level 2 | 30 node / 240 path | Not recyclable |
| Frontier Horseshoe Single Item Rack | Deployables | 10 per slot | Workbench Level 1 | No blueprint | Not recyclable |

The Key Lock is crafted by hand from 75 Wood in Rust. It belongs to the Construction category under numeric ID -850982208 across 61 construction and despawns after 5 minutes when dropped, with F1 console command inventory.giveid -850982208 10 across 61 published Construction entries.
The Key Lock recycles in Rust at an unpowered green recycler into 37 Wood plus a 50% chance of one more. 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.
The Key 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 -850982208 across 61 construction and despawns after 5 minutes when dropped on a default server.
Dropped on the ground in Rust, the Key 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.
The Key Lock has 32-bit signed item ID -850982208 and shortname lock.key 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).
Server administrators in Rust spawn the Key Lock in the F1 developer console with inventory.give lock.key 10 or inventory.giveid -850982208 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.
