Especially now that metal doors are being used for Gun Store fronts, can the locked metal doors be updated with something to say that they’re locked? And, I don’t know, maybe some way to open them besides being bashed down?

I almost posted this as a bug report until I looked through terrain.json and realized this thing called a door is not actually a door, and cannot be picked or pried open like an actual door.

There’s two kinds of metal doors. The one you saw in terrain is used in places like labs and underground vaults and stuff. The one used on gunstores can be lockpicked, though.
