We know that Jesus didn't physically hand over a set of brass keys to Peter, so then what are the keys to the kingdom? It seems all sorts of people high and low have been entering into it for a long long time, so there isn't a set somewhere in any one person's keeping.

From the accounts given the keys given Peter were the privilege of showing how prophecy was now being fulfilled.
And it was not minor details but how that the new “nation” was being formed and who would be given opportunity to be part of it.

The rest of the world sure gets their theology from the various "sources" that be. It's a common misconception that seldom gets corrected that St. Peter is the "doorman" of heaven.
