Without a key

Are these sentences correct:

1) Without a key, John managed to open the door.
2) John managed to open the door without a key.
3) John, without a key, managed to open the door.

I think the third one is a bit strange. I don't think the sentence is ungrammatical though.

Gratefully,
Navi.
