Once dropped, the Apartment Key lasts 1 hour on the ground before it despawns.
In Rust, Apartment Key is a event item and key in the Misc category (item ID #1664052604, console shortname apartment.master_key). In active play, it follows standard server rules for event item and key gear across procedural maps. Inventory storage holds a single unit per slot, and uncollected ground drops despawn after 1 hour.
An old rusty key that can open the door to an apartment.
In Rust, Apartment Key has no player crafting recipe; acquisition relies on map collection, smelting, or vendor trades read from the Rust game files. Monument recyclers do not break this item down into raw components, while it serves its dedicated role inside the Misc catalog. Equipped and stored units carry no durability wear bar.
When comparing Apartment Key against related misc in Rust, prioritize farming its highest-probability monument containers or recycling surplus components at an unpowered radtown green recycler (fifty percent base yield, versus forty percent at safe-zone yellow units) because this item cannot be crafted at a player workbench.

The Apartment Key remains on the ground for 1 hour (3,600 seconds) before despawning on a default Rust server. Picking it back up into an inventory (up to 1 per slot) or storage box resets that timer under the Misc category (item ID 1664052604).

The Apartment Key has 32-bit signed item ID 1664052604 and shortname apartment.master_key in Rust. Server plugins, custom loot tables, Vending Machine listings, and automated Industrial Conveyor filter strings reference these two identifiers under the Misc category (stack limit 1 unit per slot).
Server administrators in Rust spawn the Apartment Key in the F1 developer console by typing inventory.give apartment.master_key 1 or inventory.giveid 1664052604 1 for a single unit.
