Wham, bam, thank you scram button: Now we have to go all MacGyver on the server room

This is why for years I've been collecting rack and server keys. New racks invariably arrive with lots of keys, which also invariably are kept in a locked cabinet that no one has access to. More than once I've driven an hour to a customer's site to find that the server bezel or cabinet is locked and the only person with the key is the MD who's gone home because the server has crashed and needs a manual reboot (I.e. a hold of the power button or a yank of the cable)

Thankfully much less common now with DRACs, iLOs etc but the keys are still in my bag.
