"Key to getting" vs "Key to get"

Hi

I asked this question somewhere else but never received the answer. :(

After 'the key to' you need a gerund or a noun, since 'key' here means 'solution' or 'clue'.

Hi Tom

If you used the word 'to' (i.e. 'key to get'), then the word 'to' would mean 'in order to':

We need a key (in order) to get into the room.

Like I used sometimes;
1. right to education.
2. right to training.

1. right to study.
2. right to have the access to this room.
