Along the lines of There Was a Door, an Action Hero proves their strength by busting down or through a locked door, or hotwiring a car so they can steal it. After they're proven said strength in this fashion, one of their companions holds up the keys to the door or car in question, which prompts a remark from the Hero. This includes examples when the hero fails with their tactic, and the companion uses the simpler way, which works (thus being the Subverted Trope to "Open!" Says Me). Another possibility is that the companion unlocks the door (or tries it and finds that it wasn't locked in the first place) just before the hero breaks it down. Having a Key Under the Doormat is a frequent way of doing this. Contrast Cutting the Knot, where violence is the simple option. Also contrast Interchangeable Antimatter Keys and Door Dumb. |

In The Bourne Identity: Bourne plans out a complex plot to get information from a hotel information desk. When he doesn't get the phone call from Marie, he assumes that she's bailed on the plan. She then appears right behind him. "I just asked them for it." | |

Terminator 2: Judgment Day: The T-800 punches through a car window then hot-wires the car. John Connor flips down the windshield visor to reveal the keys. The Terminator actually learns from this experience — the second time he's required to steal a car, he gets in and flips down the visor. Boom! Keys. Subverted and invoked when the SWAT teams enter the Cyberdyne building. The first team uses a keycard to enter the building normally. The team immediately following them breaks the door's glass out. |

In Spacetrawler, Emily Taylor decides to fly up after someone who's withholding information, in hopes that she can beat it out of him. Stangor, a strictly B-list villain with a vendetta against Emily, instead decides to be kind enough to show the rest of the cast that sometimes, the smarter way is just to look up the information on an unlocked terminal left behind when the information broker flew off. It later seems that this is her schtick. | |

In the Goblin starting zone in World of Warcraft, you rescue Goblins locked in cages by strapping rockets to the cages and launching them into orbit. While doing this, some of them will tell you the guards have the keys. Sure enough the guards will occasionally drop a key, but this way is far more fun. | |

Around the time that Star Wars: Episode 1 debuted in theaters, MAD Magazine featured a strip which parodied an early scene where Obi-Wan Kenobi and Qui-gon Jin use their lightsabers to cut open a locked door. In the strip, Qui-gon is the only one doing anything, and is clearly struggling... until he's about half-way through, at which point Obi-wan produces the keys. | |

Jonathan Creek helpfully whips out a set of lockpicks to take care of the fact that his Watson Maddy has had her car clamped. Maddy is both grateful and impressed, but it turns out that she has the key for it herself and uses it as camouflage. | |

The Fairly OddParents!: The episode "Big Wanda" does this when Timmy and Cosmo want to enter Cosmo's mom's house. After Timmy broke the door using Cosmo as a Battering Ram, Cosmo states that he still has the house's keys. To be fair, up until that point in the episode, Timmy has been the victim of Amusing Injuries non-stop while Cosmo went unscathed, so frustration probably plays part of his reasoning on the stunt. | |

In Black Mask, at one point the Badass Normal police detective manages to handcuff a Super-Soldier who feels no pain to a bar. The super soldier immediately and without hesitation cuts off his own hand. The detective stares at him for a second and then (in the English dub at least) says "Damn. I had the key." | |

X-Men: The Animated Series: In the episode "Night of the Sentinels", Wolverine uses his adamantium claws to slice open a locked door. However, after getting inside: Justified a few minutes later, when they are trying to destroy the hard copies of the Mutant Registry files: Seven episodes later show why they don't bother with keys. When Rogue and Storm try breaking out Colossus, Rogue has the wrong key and simply rips the door off the hinges. |

One Pixie and Brutus strip begins with the eponymous characters trying to get over a fence. Pixie climbs up a shovel with her "super ninja cat skills", Brutus just leaps over with his "super ninja dog skills... and then Mr. Wrinkles joins in with his "super ninja gate wasn't latched" (which is actually visible in earlier images of the gate if you know to look for it). | |

SpongeBob SquarePants: In "SpongeBob's House Party", SpongeBob accidentally gets locked out of his own house during said party. When all else fails, he decides to break in only for the police to show up at that exact moment and arrest him. When he gets home the next morning after a night in the cells, and realises he's still locked out, he immediately fetches the spare Key Under the Doormat and then gets extremely annoyed at the realisation that he could have just done that from the beginning. In "SpongeBob vs. The Strangler", SpongeBob arrives home with the Strangler (pretending to be his bodyguard) in tow, only to realise he can't find his key. He decides to try and climb in through the window, using the Strangler to give him a boost, but loses his footing and sticks his cleats right into the Strangler's eye sockets. He's apparently stuck like this for six hours before the Strangler pulls him free... whereupon he remembers he has a spare key under the doormat. |

Doctor Who: "The Day of the Doctor" sees three incarnations of our hero shut away in the Tower of London together, trying to work out how to get through a wooden door (it's too primitive to hack with a sonic screwdriver). After some discussion, they work out a way to do it, but it would require hundreds of years to do the calculations. But, since they're all from different timestreams, if the earliest Doctor inputs the calculations into his screwdriver, the newest one will have the result stored away in his! They confirm it, congratulate themselves on their cleverness... and then Clara walks in. "In the Forest of the Night": A little girl is being chased by wolves, but runs into a tall fence. Clara urges her to climb the fence and she'll help her over. The girl ignores her, moving several steps to the side and opening a gate. "Praxeus": Jake is trying to break down a heavy metal door to get to Adam when Yaz and Graham arrive with skeleton keys. Subverted soon afterwards when they encounter another door which Jake kicks open. |

Played with in an episode of Criminal Minds. They go to the motel the suspect is staying at and, upon seeing his picture, the clerk wordlessly hands over the appropriate key. Once they get to the room, Elle offers it to resident tough guy Morgan. He declares "I've got my own" and kicks in the door anyway. Badass-status intact, at the expense of the needlessly broken door. Seeing as it wasn't the suspect's property anyway, he's just intentionally inconvenienced a woman who was trying to help him. | |

Played with but ultimately averted in the first installment of the S.W.A.T. series. In all missions where the player is able to interview the home or building owner beforehand, they will provide the keys needed to get inside and the team will use them during the entry. However, if the player does not report that they have the keys to their superiors, the SWAT team commander will initially suggest using a shotgun to breach the door during the briefing. The player character will then automatically mention the keys, and the mission will proceed normally. | |

During John Byrne's run on Fantastic Four there was a notable Avengers crossover involving the return of Jean Grey. At one point, Hercules and members of the FF accompanied Jean to her parents' home to uncover the reason for her resurrection, but their front door was locked. After Hercules smashed the door down, Jean took him to task, pointing out that her folks kept a spare key in a secret compartment inside a fake rock by the front step. Captain America says they'll write her parents a check for the broken door. | |
