Chests that need keys- useful for adventure maps, or just protecting your stuff. To craft a unlock able chest, surround 1 gold ingot with 8 wood planks. To craft the key, place 3 gold ingots in a line. Unlock able chests have the durability of around obsidian and even if you do destroy them, nothing will drop. You need a key to unlock it. I'm not sure if this has been suggested or not but it sounds original to me, and it would be a cool implantation to Minecraft.
I've had this idea in mind as well as keys for doors for a while now. I believe it would make an excellent addition to adventure and potentially survival multiplayer maps as well.
While the idea of lockable chests sounds good, ender chests seem to do that already. If you put something into an ender chest, you are the only one thats able to take it out, and if the ender chest is destroyed it will not drop anything. So in essence you don't need a locked chests.
As far as chests go though, I personally would like to see a chest like the ender chest, only other players CAN take items you put in there out making it a sort of mail system, where you can put an item in at your base, and they can take the item out at their base the instant you put it in.

Don't know how it 'sounds' original, but you might do well to use the search function in the future.
