Close, 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 if needed. Closing and locking the door can similarly deter other humanoid monsters, unless they are intelligent and carrying an unlocking tool.

When purchasing items from a shop, it is often a good idea to close the door if you want to prevent your pet from eating any food you may want to buy, or else attacking disguised mimics or the shopkeeper if they are capable of doing so (as this may result in them being killed).
