House Security
Homes can be secured for entrance and contained items independently.
General
In the security menu of the house sign, you can give other players certain privileges in your house. There's three levels of security:
- Owners (all characters of your account)
- Co-owners
- Friends
Friends can do the following:
- Ban other players, lift a ban
- Lock down items, and release items locked down by themselves
- Access secure containers, doors and teleporters with the access level set to 'friends' or 'anyone'
Co-owners can do the following:
- Ban other players, lift a ban
- Make other players a friend of the house, or remove them from the friends list
- Lock down items, and release items locked down by themselves
- Place secure containers
- Access secure containers, doors and teleporters with the access level set to 'co-owners', 'friends' or 'anyone'
- Place house add-ons
- Rename the house
Owners can do the following:
- Ban other players, lift a ban

Secure Containers
Secure containers differ from those that are locked down in that you can easily remove items from them without having to "release" them first. Secure containers provide secure storage without locking down the objects that stored within them.
Locking Items Down
Once an item is locked down in your house, it becomes too heavy for anyone to move. Locked down items cannot be moved by anyone and do not decay. This lets you decorate your house with the peace of mind that ruffians or petty chair thieves will not be able to wreck or steal your furniture, and that your decorations won't simply vanish after being left unattended.
