There are numerous meanings of the word 'key' and the Oxford dictionary
describes one as:

"A small piece of shaped metal with incisions cut to fit the wards of a
particular lock, which is inserted into a lock and turned to open or close =
it"

Thus the word "keyless" is a perfectly valid description of locking systems
that do not use the aforementioned bits of metal to gain access.
