Native speaker’s answer

Rebecca

"It" in the context of this sentence is referring to the keyhole that she mentions just before. The "keyhole" is a metaphor for having a limited amount of knowledge and ability, but then she says it is widened, which means that his amount of knowledge has the ability to become much greater.
