Locks and kes would, obviously, allow you to lock and unlock things. They work like this. You can place a lock on curtain blocks, like chest, and doors. This block is unuseable until you right click on the block with a key. The lock then comes off. Any block with a lock on it takes just as long as obsidion took to destroy during 1.8, and you won't get anything out of the block by destroying it.
Only specific kinds of keys can open specific kinds of locks.
Example:
Lock_0 is opened by Key_0
Lock_5 is opened by Key_5
And before anyone tells me to just use bukkit's locking sytem, I'd like to say that I do not like that locking system at all, and that it is poorly made, and confusing, and does not fit in well with Minecraft's game style.

Actually, there will be plenty of new content in the future. It will come in the form of DLC and expansions, which the user can purchase and download to the game. At least, that was the original plan. I imagine Mojang will be taking a short break from Minecraft to work on their other in-developement titles. If you want to see locks and keys in the game, contact Jens or Notch about it on twitter. It's a useful tool to have in multiplayer.

I'll try to contact them, but I don't know if they'll notice me. I'd like it if they did though.

Why is it that every time I make a thread, it gets no activity, but everyone else's threads get tons of activity?

As cool of an idea as this is, on its own, Minecraft does not need keys or locks for anything other than online play. This means that keys and locks would add nothing to the core gameplay in anyway, now it would be cool to add this, but as it is there are plenty of mods and plugins that do this.
I would rather see Mojang invest their time in bug fixes and other features then adding this, not that i wouldnt like to see it added to the game officially.
Side note, this would be perfect for people who would play minecraft online on the xbox.

Two problems with your argument. I have already explained my distaste in the mods. Also, you DON'T HAVE TO make locks and keys in single player. You can just play in singleplayer normally.

I understand the "i dont like mods" argument completely, but minecraft in essence is basicly a singleplayer game, its online play hasnt developed beyond what modders have done to it.
Also why would they add a feature to the game that a player would never want to utalize? Like as far as i can tell, no one would ever use locks in single player, they would just be a waste of time and resources, and having uselss features in a game is never a good thing.
The day minecraft starts developing its multiplayer beyond giving it the basic function of online play is the day i fully support this idea.

Who said that? They are still going to add and update the game lol
That's where your wrong my freind. You see, they're still going to add new features!

It has my views and I don't want to insult you by repeating them.
