How to solve the problem: The door can't be locked to FC members, but access to amenities can. Other games, including EQ2 which uses a very similar housing system (although theirs is entirely instanced and the guild (FC) houses are much, much MUCH larger) allow you to lock the use of amenities without locking access. Of course the game also allows you to relinquish a house and just have the contents packed into a moving crate and placed in your next house soooo yeah.
