I lock all my goodies in chests. Food, Inspirations, Ores and skins. This way if someone decides to break into my claim, they get nothing for their troubles.
The way I see it, If they are breaking in, I will loose these items anyway and there is a chance I will need to rebuild chests and buildings anyway.
Locking is a bad idea. Raiders will usually look in cupboards and sheds and if there's nothing good, there's a good chance the cupboard or shed will be left alone. Chests, locked or not, are carried off claim because you take crimes from looking in them. However once off claim, they are checked, looted, and left there. Unless they are locked, in which case they are broken. Chests also might be broken, some of them, if there are just too many of them in the way once they are all carried off. The point is, you have a much better chance of not losing your storage if you don't lock it.
