You may well find the club's lease does cover access to the landing. It certainly should.
Your friend's tenancy agreement is between him and the landlord, so the club can't breach the agreement cos they didn't sign it. The points you've made would be right if it were the landlord or their agent that bust the bike.
I mean, given their lack of knowledge my friend and his flat could have just as easily put a bookcase or something equally immovable over the door. I just don't get why the exit would go completely unmentioned... Also if it's leading directly into a private residence does the security guy even have the right to enter without 24h notice in writing?
As far as I understand, quiet enjoyment takes precedence over all other restrictions other than actual emergencies. So, in case of fire the door could be opened with warning, but not for a mere inspection.
I think the bigger can of worms is what the security guy was doing even being there in the first place.
