Made of 440 grade stainless, was included with parts for a keezer so may be related to beer brewing, 1/4 in dia.

Looks like a locking pin where the groove sits against a sprung ball bearing. Easy enough to insert and release but prevents two parts from moving in a perpendicular path to the pin. Can be used to stop pivoting too.

Makes me think of the kind of pin that you pull out to lift up the seat of a rowing machine to store it vertically.

The groove defiantly looks like a detent, the kegs do have a lever that lifts to open them but there is no hole for this to fit.
