Some similarities, but I can't remember a market trip..: The Garret of Greta McGraw (can read online on OpenLibrary for free, but not sure it's your book. They do make holes in the building, though): https://openlibrary.org/works/OL35852...

It's about a boy who moves to a new apartment and befriends the girl living down the hall. They find out their rooms share a wall and so they make a hole between them where they can pass notes and talk to each other as they please.
One of the main plot points is their search for an old key to unlock something (I don't remember what). So, at some point they go together to a market where they go stall-to-stall buying as many boxes of old keys as they can to try and find a match to their lock.
