The key be useful in a way post strange.
What’s the combination
Speak Kludge and enter.
You win the Internet!
This is like one of those Zen Buddhist riddles. Like, “What’s the sound of one hand clapping?”

Visit my site to read my newly published story, “Ragnarok.”
Everyone knows the answer to that – it sounds just like the other hand.
Cheezburger has enough ads without you plugging your site, kthx.
ohai!
It sent us to another spot on cheeseburger moron and it is a hyperlink, not an ad
Fail troll is failing when trolling the troll. It actually sends you to http://www.patrickscalisi.com/, which you would know if you read the hyperlink
In the dark of a winter moon you can see this elvish phrase imprinted in glittering letters over the door:
Say, “Open, dangit!” and enter.

Let me see if I got this right. First you use the key to unlock the door, then you use it as a handle to open the door. Simple enough.
I’m having horrible flashbacks to Zork.
It is dark here. You may be eaten by a Grue.
Sorry, Sir, but I must correct you. The phrase actually is “It is pitch black here. You are likely to be eaten by a grue.”
you are in a maze of twisty passages, all alike.
It’s one of those brain-teasers that’s so simple, it’s actually difficult. The handle IS THE KEY!
I think what we have here is some kind of a Harry Potter moment. Book 7, maybe.
i think its the first
owait the key has no wings
Speak “WTF?” and leave. Never to return.
The key to this Kludge is that the door is locked and your on the other side
I like it, lock the door and take the handle, er key, with you.
clever? yes. kludge? not so much..
Grandpa: “When is a key not a key? When it’s a door handle! Heh heh heh!!!”
Grandson: “That’s not right, Grandpa. It’s supposed to be ‘When is a door not a door? When it’s ajar.’”
Grandpa: “Well that may be what you do in your house, sonny. But I do things a little differently in mine.”
Grandson: (walks over to door) “Whoa! So the door handle really IS a key?”
Grandpa: “Yes, young apprentice. Use it skillfully to open that which blocks your path.”
Grandson: “You’re weird, Grandpa!”
Grandpa: “….uh…I…what were we talking about?”
the fun begins when our young hero realizes the lock is spring secured, and requires positive pressure to remain unlocked…
Apparently someone heard the phrase “hiding in plain site.” Shortly before he was robbed.
There’s my bottle opener!
This is an example of the hypothetical “Bigglesman’s Safe”, a common philosophical dilemma. In the most common example of this, a Mr. Bigglesman invents an unbreakable safe. In order to protect his investment, he then locks the blueprints inside the safe, and destroys the only key, together with all the equipment used in the manufacture. Dismayed by his own foolishness, he then kills himself. What to do?
That’s easy! The answer can be found here:

I’d report you, exept that I can’t.
That’s not the right key is it?
It’s a dork(nob) key.
Warm the key so it enlarges, then slip the key out and unlock the door.
**Waves hand across face**
There is no key.
This looks like the door to a bathroom stall. Here’s tne scenario: simeone goes inside, locks the door and then passes out. People outside the stall on’t know what to do, until the janitor comes. He pulls off the door handle and uses it to gain entrance and save the day.
Look closely people, the key is the key.
Well, at least the door is a key and not a jar.
Darnit, now where did I leave that key…
They found a great way to “handle” problems with that lost key. They also need another key for the handle of the garage door and as a keychain for car keys… Now I understand why my grandpa does not let me buy that wireless keychain for locating lost keys!.
Knock knock! How’s there?
The key slot looks suspiciously like this would be the key for it…
Finally, a use for all those stupid rusty keys from Resident Evil.
This looks like a novelty but is meant to slow us down when the zombies attack.
help me I’m stuck and the keys stuck too.
Gold key slot filled
You need the Red Key to continue
It doesn’t really look like there’s anything in the keyhole. Maybe it’s a regular hole trying to look like a keyhole, thus; the door handle trying to look like a key.
Looks like something from a Professor Layton game.
There’s no Elvish word for “kludge”. They just blame all their kludges on the Dwarves.
Whaaaa?! I have the same door with the same key here at home.. the difference is that I still have my doorhandle
Dayadhvam: I have heard the key
Turn in the door once and turn once only
We think of the key, each in his prison
Thinking of the key, each confirms a prison
Only at nightfall, aetherial rumours
Revive for a moment a broken Coriolanus
Is this a turnkey operation?
I believe this is from an old Elven saying that is something like this “The key to the door is the handle.”
Tricksy Hobbitses
You have a nightmare and reach a door just like this.
When you wake up you think to yourself out loud. “Thats it no more late nights of MYST on my computer”
Haha! We have the exact same situation at my dad’s house!
At my dad’s, privacy is invalid.
what was the keyguy on the matrix called again?
I cannot unlock the door without the key, yet I cannot open the door without the …key…but I cannot unlock….does not compute…kaboom! (Mudd’s robotic riddle if Kirk and Spock hadn’t turned up when they did).
Easy. Pull key off square thing, then unlock the door and open it with a spanner.
how am i supposed to unlock the door now!
