Rust Place Lock achievement: deploy the named object in the world. Single source: the checked placement route is one method origin, with current server-credit exceptions unresolved.

Perform the placement action

Select the Key Lock and attach it to an eligible owned door or container. Confirm that the lock is attached before moving on to Lock the Lock. This page covers placement; inspect the separate locking interaction afterward.

Use Rust Craft Lock achievement if you still need to make the item. Follow the current valid-placement preview and the binding in your own settings. If the preview is blocked, resolve that placement condition before treating the achievement counter as a failure.

Hizzle recommends checking the first completed placement rather than destroying and rebuilding a working base as a guessed workaround.

Evidence and planning limits

Hizzle's provisional difficulty is 2/10, an editorial estimate from the setup. Exact completion time, server eligibility, counter resets, guest credit and every missable exception remain UNSURE. This basic route has no established paid-DLC requirement. Console Edition has a different catalogue; UNSURE: console trigger parity. Current patch review does not prove an unlock works on every server. Hizzle has not tested this in-game.

UNSURE marks what this guide hasn't established. Hizzle Guides research from public sources; we don't claim in-game testing unless a page says so.
