[B42] - Universal Door Key

🔑 [B42] - Universal Door Key | Unlock Hidden Paths 🗝️

🔓 Adds a rare Universal Key that can unlock any locked building door in Build 42!
✅ Lightweight, automatic, and immersive — no overwrites!


🎯 What It Does
The Universal Door Key allows you to:
  • 🔑 Automatically bind to nearby locked doors
  • 🛠️ Unlock doors as if you had the real key (so no alarm triggering, you, homejacker !)
  • 🎒 Works from your inventory, bag, or key ring
  • ⚡ Lightweight and safe — uses in-game events only


⚙️ How It Works
  • 🚪 Approach a locked door
  • 🔁 The key automatically syncs to the door's KeyId
  • 🚶‍♂️ Open the door as if you had the original key
  • ❗ Works only on valid doors (not cars)
  • ❗ Sometimes, the door will not open first try (rare), try moving around the door, and it will be ok. It is for the door to generate a key ID :)


🌎 Compatibility
  • ✔️ Build 42+
  • ✔️ All maps, professions, and modded characters
  • ✔️ Fully multiplayer-safe


⚖️ Balance Info
  • 🧿 Very rare item
  • 🎯 Drops only from specific zombies and containers
  • 🎲 Ideal for admins, server events, and custom scenarios

@BloodSoakedRaven, I've not dig in this code since few months, I do not remember tbh. I think it could work :)

Can I use this to also lock the doors? i'm trying to find a way to lock my player built doors. the current system requires you to have the original key belonging to the corresponding doorknob... it's pretty frustrating.

Cannot open green garage doors in U-Store IT, e.g. west point https://b42map.com/?12137x7020

@Gauuuuuusson yes !

I found my base, but the garage door is bugged (both side locked) and can't open. I don't want to break the door by sledgehammer. Will this mod open the garage door?

@gwdub08 Nop I do not work anymore on B41 sorry :(
@Smart Idiot that's a really cool idea ! gonna work on it !

I feel like getting a one time universal key addon would be nice, just for rp reasons with one Weak or cheating reasons people might have instead of haing lots of universal keys
gwdub08 8 May @ 11:08am 
is there a build 41 option? I can only run B41 at the moment

could you make a side-mod version that gives a different key for each city/town perhaps? as the guy below me said, it makes it far too easy as it currently is! I, personally, would find it really cool however to be able to find one of those classic "key to the city" type of items, with a modifiable rarity (so I can make it even harder to find than current)
