Matthew records the discourse about the rock, the keys, the gates of hell, and the power to loose and bind (judicial authority).
The keys are a symbol of authority.
Keys represent exclusive dominion, royal authority with the words & imagery of Isaiah-with the mental images of kings and kingdoms, keys and authority, officials and real delagation-Jesus appoints Peter as the visible and singular steward of his new kingdom
Peter was given the keys of heaven and earth by Jesus-a larger kindom-universal-steward.
Jesus is referring to Is.22:22 OT background.
Key of David
Keys of Death and Hades
Eliakim-key of the house of David Is.22:22-royal authority
-steward
Jesus ascends the throne of David as the heir and successor of the kings of Israel and Judah and he appoints the steward or vizier over the household
A new kingdom-the Church-on earth.

Catholics and Mormons believe that Simon Peter was given the keys of the Kingdom by Jesus Christ. This is why Saint Peter is often depicted holding keys in Renaissance art. This is also why Saint Peter is believed to be the keeper of the Pearly Gates (because he has the keys to the Kingdom of Heaven).

There are a number of references to "Keys" in Scripture. You may be referring to Matthew 16:19, where Jesus is speaking to the Apostles. He refers to the "keys of the kingdom of heaven." The keys is a symbol of authority. Whoever has the keys can open the door. This authority, which is clear when compared to other Scriptures, is given to the Lord's Church.

As I understand it keys are certain images or symbols which can be used in meditation to open out into specific locations ,therefore I would think the keeper of the keys would be someone who utiluses these keys

"I am He who lives, and was dead, and behold, I am alive forevermore. Amen. And I have the keys of Hades and of Death." Revelation 1:18.
Jesus had victory over death and hell (Hades) when he died on the cross and resurrected from the grave. Now Satan doesn't have the authority over every people that come unto God . This probably what you're looking for.
