May I call for an Arcana check to investigate the ward on the door?
Ought to be better than a detect magic to understand the nature of the spell.
The party sort of already knows there is a ward there, and wards usually go under Abjuration.

Oooh mysterious shiny object.
If we have 15 minutes, to spare, Kethan can use an identify ritual to find out what loot you nabbed.

The ward on the door is an arcane lock spell. It is impassable until it is broken or the spell is dispelled or suppressed. You would need to address the identify ritual offer IC as I'm not sure strangers would just say "I found this possibly valuable item...can you tell me what it is?"
