A recycler takes one at a time.
Figures are for one item in perfect condition. Each recycler’s name opens its full table at this item.
In Rust, Skull Door Knocker is a deployable in the Deployables category (item ID #-216116642, console shortname skulldoorknocker). In active play, it follows standard server rules for deployable gear across procedural maps. Inventory storage holds a single unit per slot, and uncollected ground drops despawn after 5 minutes.
A spooky heavy iron door knocker. Its haunted skull will produce flames when distrubed.
Crafting Skull Door Knocker 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). Damaged copies repair at a Repair Bench for a fraction of recipe cost.
When comparing Skull Door Knocker against related deployables 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 |

| Dragon Door Knocker | Deployables | 1 per slot | Crafted by hand | No blueprint | Not recyclable |
| Advent Calendar | Deployables | 1 per slot | World loot / gather | No blueprint | Not recyclable |

The Skull Door Knocker recycles in Rust at an unpowered green recycler into 10 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.
The Skull Door Knocker takes 15 seconds to craft, down to 3.75 seconds at Workbench Level 2 or 3 in Rust. It belongs to the Deployables category under numeric ID -216116642 across 168 deployables, stacking up to 1 unit per inventory or container slot.
Dropped on the ground in Rust, the Skull Door Knocker 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 Skull Door Knocker has 32-bit signed item ID -216116642 and shortname skulldoorknocker in Rust. Server plugins, custom loot tables, Vending Machine listings, and automated Industrial Conveyor filter strings reference these two identifiers under the Deployables category (stack limit 1 unit per slot).
Server administrators in Rust spawn the Skull Door Knocker in the F1 developer console by typing inventory.give skulldoorknocker 1 or inventory.giveid -216116642 1 for a single unit. Both console spawn commands require administrator or moderator privileges on the server, while regular players can bind a quick-craft shortcut key instead.
