Trouble when tool is equipped

I have a problem: I made this door to tween and the only time it will tween is when the tool is unequipped. It’s still in my inventory, it’s just that it only allows the door to tween when I don’t have the tool in my hand. So when I equip it, the door won’t tween. Can you help me fix this weird issue?

Here’s the local script in starter GUI:

local access = game.ReplicatedStorage.Events:WaitForChild("AccessGranted")

access.OnClientEvent:Connect(function()
	openDoor:Play()
	wait(3)
	closeDoor:Play()
end)

And the regular script inside the part:

local accessGranted = game.ReplicatedStorage.Events:WaitForChild("AccessGranted")
local toggleBeam = game.ReplicatedStorage.Events:WaitForChild("ToggleBeam")
local message = game.ReplicatedStorage.Events:WaitForChild("Message")

local door = workspace.Door

script.Parent.ProximityPrompt.Triggered:Connect(function(player)
	local char = player.Character
	local tool = player.Backpack:FindFirstChildOfClass("Tool")
	
	if tool and tool.Name == "Key" then
		accessGranted:FireClient(player)
		print("Access granted!")
		message:FireClient(player, "You have unlocked the first maze!")
		script.Parent.Parent.Screen.SurfaceGui.TextLabel.Text = "ACCESS GRANTED"
		wait(2)
		script.Parent.Parent.Screen.SurfaceGui.TextLabel.Text = ""
		wait(2)
		message.Value = ""
	else
		print("Access denied. Comeback with the key!")
		script.Parent.Parent.Screen.SurfaceGui.TextLabel.Text = "ACCESS DENIED"
		wait(2)
		script.Parent.Parent.Screen.SurfaceGui.TextLabel.Text = ""
	end
end)

And just in case, here’s the previous regular script:

local accessGranted = game.ReplicatedStorage.Events:WaitForChild("AccessGranted")
local toggleBeam = game.ReplicatedStorage.Events:WaitForChild("ToggleBeam")
local message = game.ReplicatedStorage.Events:WaitForChild("Message")

local door = workspace.Door

script.Parent.ProximityPrompt.Triggered:Connect(function(player)
	local char = player.Character
	local tool = player.Backpack:FindFirstChild("Key")
	
	if tool then
		accessGranted:FireClient(player)
		print("Access granted!")
		message:FireClient(player, "You have unlocked the first maze!")
		script.Parent.Parent.Screen.SurfaceGui.TextLabel.Text = "ACCESS GRANTED"
		wait(2)
		script.Parent.Parent.Screen.SurfaceGui.TextLabel.Text = ""
		wait(2)
		message.Value = ""
	else
		print("Access denied. Comeback with the key!")
		script.Parent.Parent.Screen.SurfaceGui.TextLabel.Text = "ACCESS DENIED"
		wait(2)
		script.Parent.Parent.Screen.SurfaceGui.TextLabel.Text = ""
	end
end)

Shouldn’t you check if tool.equipped is true with a if statement? All I know is that if you want to check if a tool is equipped to do something that is the first thing you should do.
