• There is no way to know what key belongs to what lock
• Keys can be duplicated (so keep your keys safe)
• Keys can be stored on a key-ring

Boat Keys

When you place a boat onto water, you will find a rusty key in your inventory. It unlocks the onboard container, the hatch

• The rusty key disappears when you drydock your boat.

House Keys

When you buy a house, you get a gold key. And even if you make someone a "friend of the house", they will need their own key if you expect them to be able to enter and re-lock the doors on their own.

• You do not want to have your doors unlocked, else anybody can walk into the house
• Key needs to be in your inventory to allow you to interact with locked doors
• Toggling the lock/unlock, you need to double-click the house-key and use on the door.
• You can change the locks on your house, but you need to have a new key available.
  • This saves you when you lock yourself out of the house

Containers

• You can make a lock and put it onto wooden or metal chests, using a rekey kit to assign a key to the lock
• You double-click the key, and use on the container to lock/unlock it

Key Ring

There is an item called a 'key ring, which allows you to store multiple keys in one item.

• Double-click the key ring and choose what key to put on it.
