I had a Master padlock on my garage that was in the same shape as yours. The
key would go in and turn but wouldn't open it. I tried every penetrating oil
I could find. I got the hack saw out and it was about as effective as a
butter knife. The hammer was next ... no go. I then took my propane torch to
it. After heating it up cherry red and letting it cool, the hack saw cut it
as easily as if it were aluminum.
After reading the description of your lock set-up I can see that high heat
is not an option but thought I would mention the torch bit for others in a
similar situation. Good luck
there is always dry ice
Which would DEFINITELY shatter the hose.
