 '''Close''', {{kbd|c}}, is a command that is used to close an open [[door]]. Closed doors can only be opened by humanoid creatures; a door must also be closed first before the player can [[lock]] it.
-Monsters that lack hands cannot open closed doors, so closing doors behind you as you move can help put some space between you and a monster you're trying to evade; closing and locking the door can similarly deter other humanoid monsters, unless they are intelligent and carrying an [[unlocking tool]]. Knowing the locations of closed doors on a given level can also be used to guess at a monster's location in certain scenarios, e.g. chasing down a [[nymph]] to retrieve a stolen item.
