better locked doors

[archamedes 238]

I can't be the only one who thinks this, but the current  locking system in Dayz is pretty poor.

 

So here is the scene, you got a player chasing you down, you run into a house, close the door and lock it so you can, reload or banda..... "You are dead" thats right, because from the 3 seconds it took for you to lock the door and take 3 steps forward, matey has alreay bashed the door open with a sledgehammer or axe & you have only gained a few seconds before you are facing him again. locked doors are only effective against fresh spawns because anyone else, not even fully geared people have any of the many tools required to break a door in.

 

I think it would be much better if it took at least 10-20 swings from an axe (That will degrade it) 5-10 hits from a sledgehammer, Open instantly with a lockpick with a 25-50% chance of it breaking if used from a different pick, or finally only 2-3 hits with a crowbar because a crowbar is useless against killing zombies so most people don't usually take them, but on the flipside they would be perfect to pry open a door. Just a thought

Why would the lockpick break if it was not the one used to lock the door? Lock picks are just tools to open locks in doors. It wouldn't make sense for one to break because it isn't the same lockpick.

it was just a suggestion, because they seem so fickle anyway & I have ended up with a bunch of ruined lockpicks fr no reason

I love the idea, other than the "Original Lockpick is a key" part :P Doors absolutely need to be a little more resistant to these weapons xD

Along with these ideas, I believe that we should be able to lock doors manually on the inside, like a deadbolt. I'm nearly certain that those doors would have locks because it's house doors. Tell me to my face that you can't go to your front door right now and turn the deadbolt.
