Write negative sentence with "have"

Hi.

I wonder that whether we can be using like this or not.
" I can't get in to the house, because of I haven't got a key"

But I want to say like these, But I'm not sure.
1. I can't get into the house, because of I have not a key.
2. I can't get into the house, because of I don't have a key.
3. I can't get into the house, because of I didn't have a key.

We don't. It is an archaic form.

That is OK.
Carter LeeI have not...+ noun
