There are a large number of factors involved. It was Durin's Day and the last rays of sunlight fell on the rock, revealing the key. And they had the key, Gandalf had gotten it from Thorin's father.

On Durin's Day the last rays of the sun struck the appropriate spot on the wall when the Thrush knocked. This was foretold on the map in moon letters.

Bilbo thought the dragon would be there any second so he told Thorin to shut the door. Which he did in the nick of time.
