Vehicle keys bridges abstract how different key systems lock and unlock vehicles.
Your scripts call one function, and TS-Lib routes it to qb-vehiclekeys, qs-vehiclekeys or a standalone implementation.

Supported key systems

TS-Lib ships with support for:
  • qb-vehiclekeys
  • qs-vehiclekeys
  • standalone (no external keys resource)
Configuration is controlled via ts-lib/config.lua: 
Config.VehicleKeys = 'auto' -- 'auto', 'qb-vehiclekeys', 'qs-vehiclekeys', 'standalone'

Config.Data = {
  VehicleKeys = {
    ['qb-vehiclekeys'] = 'qb-vehiclekeys',
    ['qs-vehiclekeys'] = 'qs-vehiclekeys',
    ['standalone']     = 'standalone',
  },
}
When Config.VehicleKeys = 'auto', TS-Lib selects the first started resource from Config.Data.VehicleKeys.

​
Client-side API

​
Bridge.VehicleKeys.Client.Functions.SetDoorStatus(entity, lockStatus)

This is the main entrypoint you will use from your scripts. 
Bridge.VehicleKeys.Client.Functions.SetDoorStatus(vehicle, 2) -- lock
Bridge.VehicleKeys.Client.Functions.SetDoorStatus(vehicle, 1) -- unlock
Lock status convention (GTA natives):
  • 1 – unlocked
  • 2 – locked
  • 4 – locked for all players, etc.

​
Behavior per system

  • qb-vehiclekeys 
    Bridge.VehicleKeys.Client.Functions.SetDoorStatus = function(entity, status)
    TriggerEvent('qb-vehiclekeys:server:setVehLockState', NetworkGetNetworkIdFromEntity(entity), status)
end
  • qs-vehiclekeys 
    Bridge.VehicleKeys.Client.Functions.SetDoorStatus = function(entity, status)
    exports["qs-vehiclekeys"]:DoorLogic(entity, true, status, true, true, true)
end
  • standalone 
    Bridge.VehicleKeys.Client.Functions.SetDoorStatus = function(entity, lockStatus)
    local isLocked = (lockStatus ~= 1 and lockStatus ~= 0)
    Entity(entity).state:set('isLocked', isLocked, true)
    SetVehicleDoorsLocked(entity, lockStatus)

    if lockStatus == 2 or lockStatus == 4 then
        SetVehicleDoorsLockedForAllPlayers(entity, true)
    else
        SetVehicleDoorsLockedForAllPlayers(entity, false)
    end
end
In standalone mode, lock state is kept entirely via entity state and natives, without any external resource.

​
Server-side API

Right now TS-Lib does not expose additional server-side helpers for keys.
The server bridge (Bridge.VehicleKeys.Server) is kept as a placeholder for future extensions:
  • Centralized key granting/revoking
  • Permission-aware lock/unlock operations
  • Auditing of lock events
You are free to extend it in your own fork following the same structure as the existing bridges.
