The statement "They don't have the key" implies that they are missing the necessary object to unlock the door. Additionally, the statement "The door is locked" indicates that the door is secured and cannot be opened without the key. Therefore, the combination of these statements suggests that the trio is unable to proceed because they lack the key to unlock the locked door.
