First game

Fire Emblem: Shadow Dragon & the Blade of Light

The Door Key (Japanese: 扉の鍵 Door Key) is a fairly common item in the Fire Emblem series, having appeared in every game of the series other than Gaiden and its remake Echoes: Shadows of Valentia, as well as Genealogy of the Holy War. This item allows any character to open any door, when normally, only thieves can open them. In most games, it can be used only once, but in Path of Radiance and Radiant Dawn, it lasts a bit longer.
