  I do not know if you are using harlowe, but you coud set a variable to tell the story if you got the key.
  
  First, set the variable in a passage that is only visited once. It is best to sett all your variables in the starting passage.

  (set: $haskey to "no")
  

  
  Then, to get the character to collect the key, you could use a setter link
  

  (link: "get key")[(set: $haskey to "yes")(goto: "passage where you want to go. Can be the same passage you are in")]
  

  
  After that, you write a condition for the key text to appear
  

  (if: $key is "yes")[(Now you can use the key to open the locked door)]

  note: you need to state which story format you are using as answer can be different for each one.
  
  The SugarCube equivalent of @Rafe's answer is as follows:
  

  <<set $haskey to "no">>
  
  
  <<click "get key">><<set $haskey to "yes">><<goto "passage name>><</click>>
  
  
  <<if $key is "yes">>Now you can use the key to open the locked door<</if>>
