A wand of locking can be used to reconstitute, close, and lock doors and chests. It also has other uses (such as closing a drawbridge)
When standing in a doorway, this wand will create a locked door at the point (if any) where the 'bolt' of locking hits a wall. if you point with the wand to a doorway and the doorway is blocked by a corpse, you get a message: "something's in the way!". zap it at a trapdoor to remove it. zaping it up when not on the water or fire planes or underwater will have a one in three chance of droping a rock on your head
