Was happy to get this open. I wanted to do the PACLOCK “200K Club” challenge (pick this difficult lock), knowing I can already open it means half the battle is done.

Use locks that don't use a spring-actuated or ball mechanism.
I recommend the Paclock 90A. They also have lots of nice colors.

Based on videos like this when we recently rented a storage locker, I made sure that they use paclock cores in their locks.
6 pins with multiple security pns, and continual video surveillance to see anybody loitering around a locker.

Well, this is a massive product fail by Master Lock. The juicy part starts around 3:20.

I'd recommend grabbing some padlocks from the Pacific Lock Company (PACLOCK) to use if you're going to step away from the truck for a bit. They're relatively inexpensive and surprisingly difficult to pick.

In locksport news, I had another bash at the Paclock 90A Pro today.
This lock is kicking my butt. Which is not expected as it’s a blue belt lock and I’m only a green belt.
Regardless, I gave it another 20 minutes today after completing my regular warm up routine.

I tend to rotate locks in and out so I don't get too comfortable with each one. Right now, that Paclock is proving difficult. I feel it may be my technique as the American 1100s are suddenly getting difficult again. ha ha

I'm about 99% certain that this key goes to a padlock manufactured by Paclock... so, I'm about 99% sure it's the key I thought it was... but I still need to identify the other key I accidentally mixed up with this one just to make sure.
