Hello! I'm new to the server, but have been involved with MineCraft since the early days of Alpha. I'm pretty well established in overall community and have been both a Mod as well as an Admin on two of the old servers I used to play on.

My suggestion is for an addon called "LWC" which can be found here:

This addon allows you to lock doors, chests, furnaces, and a few other items. (All of which is customizable). The addon is clean, leaves a very small footprint and does not hog resources. It's also extremely easy to use.
Why, you might ask would we want a locking addon when we have Realms for locking down "territory"? The answer is as follows:
As a realm owner, and someone who loves gathering people together to complete large tasks, I cannot possibly readily invite new players who might be interested in joining my city. Even those who seem mature, friendly, and kind could be absolute thieves! There is no litmus test for this. There is no way of knowing who is, or who is not going to steal other peoples items. As a Realm owner, I also run the risk of harming my own friends who could also have their belonging stolen.
Arguably, one of the most entertaining/rewarding things about playing on a Multi-player server is getting a group together, and taking on big projects. Without some way of protecting that which we have earned, the process of finding new players to join our realms is simply too flawed to reasonably consider.
When you allow players to lock their belongings, you give them a sense of security which would keep more of your players, for a longer amount of time. This in turn could produce more donations.
Locking chests = less stealing = less of a hassle for mods and admins. They can focus on more important things other than "so and so took my diamonds!!!".
I don't even remember the last time I played on a server without some kind of locking addon. I would suggest LWC given it is by and far the most popular, most supported, and easiest to use addon.
I appreciate the time you took to read this, thank you. Hopefully, we can move forward and all of us can have some peace of mind regarding theft and trust.
