- You can express the same meaning as "closed, but not locked with a key" with:
- - "Die Tür ist zugezogen" (if the door was deliberately closed)
- - "Die Tür ist ins Schloss gefallen" (if you did not close the door yourself, but a gust of wind or similar closed it)
- (Both of them can require a key to reopen, depending on the lock)
- To say that the door was locked with a key, you could use
- - "Die Tür ist abgeschlossen" (I would normally interpret this as being locked)
- - "Die Tür ist zugesperrt" (totally unambiguous)

- "Die Tür ist geschlossen" is ambiguous, but I would normally use it for a closed door which can be reopend without a key.

Personally, I would almost always interpret "Die Tür ist abgeschloßen" as the door is locked. If you want to be totally unambiguous that the door is locked you could say "Die Tür ist zugesperrt"
