GagesVending Posted May 8, 2013 Share Posted May 8, 2013 Looks to me like it just uses cam locks. I can't be sure without looking at it closer though. If it's just cam locks, you can buy them at hardware stores or on eBay. I'd visit a sign shop in your area to see what they can do for you. It might be a little expensive.

The one in the ad looks to be a little cheap in quality. I've been buying them at Home Depot for about $4-5 and they are great quality! Given that these locks are to protect your money, I'd spend the extra few bucks to get a better quality lock. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
will.vend Posted May 8, 2013 Share Posted May 8, 2013 those are called "sportyball" the camlock you need has a 1/2 barrel, I would buy your lock from a good lock company and not lowe's. Graphics on the exterior might get pricey, I have taken a few apart and painted with "hammered" grey paint form lowe's. I removed the divider , covered one of the wheels and where mechanism mounts and vend 27mm bb's for 50 cents out of these. see pic Double check how long of a cam it needs, the thickness of the cylinder and the length of the cylinder.

Erosenlieb Posted May 8, 2013 Author Share Posted May 8, 2013 Yeah i picked up a few of them for 200 bucks so i think i did good. They have 27mm in them now but only vend for .25c. So why do you not vend gumballs out of them? Where do you get your lock for them from? Thanks Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So why do you not vend gumballs out of them? Where do you get your lock for them from? Thanks Because I can get 50 cent for a 27mm bb if that is all I vend from it, if I put gum for 25 cent on 1 side noone would pay 50 cents for bb. I use nw super 60 and hoops to vend gb's there are several different good lock companies but I use LAI, when you buy your lock and key (get more than one key) grind the little *** off of key, that way you can remove key and unlock other door, otherwise you need 2 keys everytime you want to open coin door. the top lock can be a standard aa style lock. I pay less than 4 cents per 27mm bb shipped that gives me a cogs sold at 8%, it's one of the few things that you can still make a killer profit on in bulk vending. how many did you buy for $200.00? In pic #1 in my previous post the machine on the right was painted with hammered gray paint, you can tell a big difference in appearance. http://www.laigroup.com/pdf/500-cam-plug-vending.pdf Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
