The Door Key breaks down into Wood.

Figures are for one item in perfect condition. Each recycler’s name opens its full table at this item. “18 + 75%” means 18 every time and a 75% chance of one more.
In Rust, Door Key is a event item and key in the Misc category (item ID #-1112793865, console shortname door.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 5 minutes.
A key to a door, created from a Lock. Keep this item safe; if lost you'll be unable to open the door again!
In Rust, Door Key has no player crafting recipe; acquisition relies on map collection, smelting, or vendor trades 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.
When comparing Door 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 Door Key recycles in Rust at an unpowered green recycler into 12 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.
Dropped on the ground in Rust, the Door Key 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 Door Key has no durability bar in Rust and never loses condition in storage or on the belt, so condition never degrades during use. Grouped with 50 misc entries under Misc, it stacks to 1 per slot and despawns in 5 minutes.
The Door Key is limited to 1 unit per slot in Rust, so each copy takes its own slot in a 24-slot player inventory, 6-slot belt, or 48-slot large wood box. Across 50 Misc entries, it carries ID -1112793865 and despawns after 5 minutes.
The Door Key has 32-bit signed item ID -1112793865 and shortname door.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 Door Key in the F1 developer console by typing inventory.give door.key 1 or inventory.giveid -1112793865 1 for a single unit. Both console spawn commands work only on dedicated or local worlds where your Steam account holds administrator or moderator privileges.
