Locked in

You need the master to the old lock as well, but yes.

I seem to have locked myself into my claim. When I locked my gate the key fell from my hand at the gate and I can not pick it up. the copy I made doesn't work. Any ideas?

There should have been no reason to have the key in your hand to lock the gate.

You make the master key, make the lock, hold the key and right click on the lock in your inventory to attune it to the key, then hold the lock and right click on the gate to add the lock to the gate.

Unfortunately, if you apply the lock to the gate before attuning to the key, you can't attune it to any key and the lock will never open.

Question: can one make a new lock, attune it to a new master key, and apply the lock to that gate while it is locked?

If they have the original master key on hand as well.

Well it looks like I will need to find another homestead, I don't have the phlegm to take down any part of the fence or gate.

well if anyone is interested, when I built my fence I didn't know you could remove a stump. So I used it as part of my fence. I can now exit my homestead. I plan on destroying the gate and make a new lock and key and test it before I finish the fence
