How to name this key-oriented access-protection pattern?

I like, in decreasing preference:

  • passkey friend idiom
  • passkey-door friend idiom
  • pass-door friend idiom
  • key-door friend idiom
  • partial-friend idiom
  • restricted-friend idiom

I moved away from the key-lock/key-keyhole naming scheme to the pass naming scheme, which grew on me.
