If your property is burdened by an easment and you want to place a gate on your property but give the person who owns the easement over your property a key to it for passage, the ability to do so should be legally fine unless the easement of record does not allow what you want to do.
I suggest that you consult with a real estate attorney further about your question. Good luck.
