A Man of Refined Tastes

Anyone who has played Resident Evil knows that cranks are a very important part of the game. What would be an amazing contraption otherwise is powered by a crank. The Lost in Nightmares DLC for RE5 even pokes fun at itself when Chris and Jill come to a gate that can only be opened by a crank that has been hidden somewhere in the mansion.

Jill: "What is with this guy and cranks?"

Chris: "He's a man of refined tastes."

Kinda like Umbrella and its founder Ozwell Spencer, IKEA is a company of refined tastes. We purchased a desk from this modern, cutting edge company and I had the pleasure of building the desk with a miniature crank. Sure, a phillips-head screwdriver would have been a little more civilized, but that wouldn't have been refined. The only thing that would have made the experience more enjoyable would have been if I could have had the pleasure of being eaten by a zombie.

When you turned the crank on the desk, did a key fall out?

Close, a plate with an emblem of a leopard came out. Then when I inserted it into a regression in the desk which had a leopard etched into it. A ruby came out and I proceeded to insert into another hole which then revealed a key with a spade etched into it.

I've been running around in circles for hours tying to figure out what door this spade key fits into.
