ICG Posted March 29, 2022 Share Posted March 29, 2022 Two options 1.) Locate original machine owner for original 🔑 . 2. Buy replacement lock 🔐 , first for reference as to where you can drill it out. b.) Cobalt drill bits + cutting oil will go through most steels. If case hardened, grind the outer surface first.

X2700 Posted March 29, 2022 Share Posted March 29, 2022 Few sharp drill bits and your in. way I do it is start with small bit and drill in center about inch then work your way up to size of that center piece.then tap with hammer to get tumbler pins to fall out. there is a single pin that locks it in and will usually pop open once tumblers are out.I’ll post you pics in morning of that lock.have bunch of them.

Yeah, it lights up, plays music. The coin kicks out and it doesn’t do anything. I’ll take some pictures of it tomorrow. See if I cant find the damn key.

My company bought the other part of a building that is attached to ours a few years back. There was a pepsi machine left there and I was told I could have it. But of course we cant find the key. Machine plugs in and works, even has the dollar bill receiver on it. I am wondering if anyone can steer me in the way to get a new key? The lock says something around it but we cant make it out. Maybe a sticker on the side? Drill into lock about 1 1/4” to get by the latch in barrel lock. it is spring loaded and the spring will fall out and you can usually take pick and pull that latch down to release.

Obviously need to be able to open it up before I can do anything. Hopefully find key, really don’t want to drill locks out. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
