Q: Which one is suitable in the blank?

I am looking for the key ________________.

1. which to open the door with
2. with which to open the door
3. with it to open the door
4. to open the door with it.

This answer is 2. I am confused. Because I wonder whehter #1 is suitable, too.

Why is the answer only "#2"?

2. I'm looking for the key with which to open the door, is correct grammatically.
#4. I'm looking for the key; to open the door with it, might be used colloquially.

But, why isn't #1 the answer?


I wonder #1 has the same meaning of #2.

Why?
