It's odd because there is no reason then that an AP card, which works on all those items, shouldn't work on the door. They all tie back to the same
MDE account which is what is utilized to control access. I tried using the AP card assuming it would work because I forgot my MB and then ended up having to get a new MB. They said they weren't even issuing key cards at that time (May 2020) and stated the only way to get into the room was with a MB or via the phone. I did find it odd I couldn't even get a key card,
but perhaps that was the CMs on duty not wanting to do so or not knowing they could.
