If i make a lockeddoor,it doesn't know I am the owner!

That's because usr is a mob, not a text string. Replace it with usr.ckey (or key) and the owner, too.

I suggest you try this instead:
turf/Click()
  new usr.buildtype(src,usr)

Then set up your door like this:
turf/lockeddoor
  New(newloc,mob/M)
    ..()
    owner=M

This should set the owner for you.

For an ultra-safe method you may eventually want to use some kind of canonical key/character combo for lockeddoor.owner like "[usr.client.ckey]:[ckey(usr.name)]" so that the mob can be safely deleted and reloaded later.
