What turns to lock or free?

Riddle:

I turn once to trap, turn again to free. Without me, entry is easy. What am I?

Answer:

Answer: A key. Explanation: A key physically turns to lock something (trap) and turns again to unlock (free). The riddle uses the same mechanical logic as the lock-based riddle about keeping in or out.
