to is preferable, in the sense of which goes with, which belongs with (as a
pair, usually).
the key to the door
the door to the garage
the entrance to the building
the combination to the safe
the attachments to this vacuum cleaner
the answer to the question
my response to her letter
Note that these expressions with to are often in the context of finding a
smaller thing that goes with a bigger thing. The smaller thing takes on the
role of something missing (in a vague and broad sense) that must be supplied
to complete the pair.
But be careful - these can be highly idiosyncratic, and for is often used the
same way, and substituting one for the other will sound peculiar to a native
speaker.
the remote for this TV
the cover for the pot
a belt for these pants
Also, many of these are alternately expressed as compound nouns.
the garage door, the door key, the pot cover
All in all, this topic can become quite a muddle.
There's no end to the treats!
