Only way I can think of is doing something along the lines of what your wanting.
Hallway
================================================
|D|
(3) |O| (2) (1)
|O|
|R|
================================================
1) Have Spawner 1 set up like this
a) When player gets near GIve the key
Set the Refract Min Max on the trigger to x min to x min
c) If this spawner triggers have it Turn in Spawner 3
2) Have Spawner 2 set up like this
a) When Player walks by and they have key remove it.
When it takes key, turn itself off.
3) Have Spawner 3 set up like this.
a) When player gets in range, turn on spawner 2.
then turn this spawner off after it turns on spawner 2.
What this would do is, when player wals to 1 and its after the refract time. The spawner will give the key. Then it will turn on the Spawner 3 behind the door. when the player goes into your room or passes the doors. it will kick the Spawner 2 on. that way after they clear that room past the door or what ever you are having them do. when they exit the room. they will pass spawner 2 which will take the key.

If you name the key, you can just set the NoTriggerOnCarried property on the spawner to something like
nameofkey,key
If you didnt want to do that, you could set up a sequential spawner with a spawn entry that tested for the unnamed carried key with a particular property value
subgroup 1: IF/GETONCARRIED,,key,keyvalue=12345/33
subgroup 1: GOTO/1
and you put the entry to hand out the key in subgroup 33
or the easiest solution is if you have v3.10 installed you could use the new #CONDITION spawn control keyword to make the spawn entry conditional on that test like
#CONDITION,GETONCARRIED,,key,keyvalue=12345 ; your spawn entry to hand out the key

that will only give out the key when the player is already carrying a key with keyvalue of 1.
If you want to give it out if they are NOT carrying it, then invert the test with the NOT operator '~'
#CONDITION,~GETONCARRIED,,key,keyvalue=1 ; GIVE,1/<key/keyvalue/1>
