Nick's mom was the one who told him about the seven grimms, the crusade, the hiding of the treasure and the seven keys. Renard was the one who told him how many keys the grimms and royals had. Since the numbers eventually proved not to be what he originally told Nick, the possible explanations are that he lied (no idea what the reason for that would be) or that keys changed hands and Renard's spies within the family were not discovering it (I presume that Renard was not on distribution for official family updates on the quest for the keys, and for that matter, if any of the royal families lost their keys to grimms, that's probably not something they'd be quick to report to the other families).
If it required seven keys and the blood of a grimm to open the chest, the knights clearly didn't want anyone but all of them to be able to do it. But somehow they failed to foresee the possibility that one day a grimm with five keys would know someone who could pick two locks at the same time.
