Today I am writing to you about SCP-004, which is better known as The 12 Rusty Keys and the Door.
SCP004 consists of an old wooden barn style door and a set of 12 steel keys that have rusted. SCP-004-1 is the door, SCP-004-2 through to SCP004-13 are the keys. The door is in a frame at an abandoned factory, the location of which is redacted in the report.
In 1949 three children found the door while trespassing, they also found the keys in a lockbox. One of the children, now known as SCP004-CAS01, goes missing when the children are attempting to figure out which key opens the door.

Further searching revealed that other body parts had been scattered around the door, some parts as far as 32 kilometres away.
