How to Remove Doors in Rust

Doors play a crucial role in Rust, providing security and a sense of privacy to your base or building. However, there may come a time when you need to remove a door, whether it's to reposition it elsewhere or to completely dismantle your structure. In this blog post, we will explore different methods for removing doors in Rust and the necessary steps to execute each method effectively.

One of the simplest ways to remove a door is by picking it up using keyboard controls. Whether you're dealing with a single door or a double door, the process is relatively straightforward. However, it's important to note that you will need to unlock the door first before attempting to pick it up.

To pick up a door, approach it and press and hold the interaction key (typically "E" on the keyboard). If done correctly, the door will detach from its hinges and become an item that you can pick up and place in your inventory. It's worth mentioning that for garage doors or vertical hatches, you will need a crafting hammer to pick them up.

If you don't need the door later and simply want to get rid of it, using fire can be an effective method. However, please keep in mind that this method only works for wooden doors. There are a few options for burning the door, depending on your available resources.

One option is to use a fire arrow. Craftable with a bow and arrow and some low-grade fuel, the fire arrow can ignite the wooden door, causing it to burn and eventually disintegrate. Another option is to use a flamethrower, which can quickly engulf the door in flames, reducing it to ashes.

For those looking to completely destroy a door, using explosive devices is the way to go. This method should be reserved for situations where you have no intention of salvaging the door for future use. There are several options for explosive devices, each with its own advantages and requirements.

Explosive ammo can be used with a weapon such as the Assault Rifle or the M249. This ammo type deals significant damage to structures, including doors. Alternatively, satchels can be crafted and strategically placed near the door to blow it up. Finally, if you have access to a rocket launcher, firing a rocket at the door will undoubtedly obliterate it.

It's essential to prioritize safety when using explosive devices. Maintain a safe distance from the door and be aware of potential collateral damage to nearby structures or players.

Removing doors in Rust can be a necessary task when reconfiguring your base or dismantling a structure. Whether you choose to pick up the door using keyboard controls, use fire to burn it, or employ explosive devices to destroy it entirely, it's important to approach the process with caution and consider the implications of each method.
