Not just that, but you'd need the fine motion control to trip the lock. Try doing it with your left hand, it ain't easy..
Doubly so if the lock sticks and you have to jiggle it.

It depends on the writer. On the low end he's written slightly lower than Thing, most of the time he's stronger than thing, during the 60's and on some of his series he was clearly capable of lifting half a million tons. I used his most impressive showing for my answer.
*According to the Google, the Burj Khalifa(tallest building on earth) has an estimated empty/dry weight of ~500,000 tons. So for a point of reference, *that* is what the characters in this thread would have to be able to lift, just to have a shot at lifting the key... But they'd have to be FAR stronger still in order to lift/manipulate it in the precise manner required to unlock the door without causing a f*ck-ton of damage.
...But it occurred in a HoM tie-in, so I'm not sure where it stands in terms of canonicity. /shrug
The most impressive thing about this feat isn't *just* Magneto lifting/moving the bullet. It's that he was able to manipulate it from several lightyears away, and accelerate it to FTL speeds as he brought it back to earth.

This is true. Look at Magneto's golden gate bridge feat, that alone shows more than enough power to lift up this key. You don't need to get anywhere near city lifting and planet killing bullets for him.

A guy who can lift twice his body weight would probably still struggle manipulating a five lb key..
Yeah, cl100's have all sorts of feats waaaaay above 500,000 ton.
Otoh, few, if any, have feats of casually lifting that or more with the ease of lifting a dime. Doesn't matter who it is, there's almost always some degree if visable effort.

Yeah but these guys can crush boulders with their hands like it was sand. I've always wondered what Superman had in mind when he dropped the key to his front door in front of his door? Come on in, I've got a surprise for ya?
