The key to the Doctor's TARDIS took several forms, as the key was able to change shape with the [[chameleon circuit]]. ([[AUDIO]]: ''[[The Alchemists (audio story)|The Alchemists]]'')

The [[First Doctor|First]] {{fact}} and [[Second Doctor]]s {{fact}} used a key which resembled a plain Earth {{w|Yale (company)|Yale}} lock, such as might be used with a genuine [[police box]]. The [[Third Doctor]] started out with the same key. ([[TV]]: ''[[Spearhead from Space]]'')
At some point in his third life, the Doctor began experimenting with new designs for his key, coming up with several alternative designs before settling on a spade-shaped silver key. After his regeneration, the [[Fourth Doctor]] experimented with even more radical designs, which included a double-helix apparently made of plastic, before eventually going back to the spade and Yale styles. ([[PROSE]]: ''[[Interference - Book Two]]'') The Yale key was also used by the [[Fifth Doctor]]. ([[TV]]: ''[[Four to Doomsday (TV story)|Four to Doomsday]]'')

The [[Seventh Doctor]] used yet another design, incorporating the [[Seal of Rassilon]] with a fan-shaped motif. ([[TV]]: ''[[Ghost Light]]'') The Seventh Doctor eventually went back to the spade key, which the [[Eighth Doctor]] initially continued to use. ([[TV]]: ''[[Doctor Who (TV story)|Doctor Who]]'') At some point, the Eighth Doctor returned to using the Yale key. ([[PROSE]]: ''[[The Crooked World]]'', ''[[History 101]]'')
