In that case, 「かぎはあるの?」 would be very natural.

As for "持っています(か)", what is it use for? I assume it is only for things?
Do you own ~~?
Do you have ~~ on you?

Right, you use it for inanimate objects.

自転車を持っています。Correct.

チョコレートのパンを持っているのです。In this case, it means that the speaker is holding the bread. Drop the first 「の」 and change the verb form to 「持っています」.

妹をもっています。 Incorrect.
