Workman Vending Posted September 19, 2015 Share Posted September 19, 2015 Does A&A have a default key code like Northwestern does with their 705 locks? If so, what is it?I'm running my A&As with the locks that came with them and I'm trying to figure out if I'm using a common key code. No. I don't really want to tell you what it is. I aim to replace them all with same-keyed locks, but for now this is what I have. Also is there still a source for locks that fit Seaga Millennia machines that aren't keyed SM112? Even better if there's a source where I can get these locks that are keyed the same as my NW/Oak/A&A locks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
havending Posted September 20, 2015 Share Posted September 20, 2015 705 is an AA code. Lock America for locks Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PerformaVending Posted September 20, 2015 Share Posted September 20, 2015 Seaga Millenia is a Beaver clone, so (in theory at least) a bunch of Oak/Beaver locks should work. To get new ones, you'll want to talk to Lock America (LAI) or Wixer, though you'd have to call around to see who's cheaper. Good luck! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

havending Posted September 21, 2015 Share Posted September 21, 2015 Never saw a NW with it. But all the reason to get your own code. The 705 AA locks are crap. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
musser Posted September 21, 2015 Share Posted September 21, 2015 A 705 A&A lock is not the same as a NW 705 just enough different to make a difference, the Chicago Lock 705 that NW buys has several codes that are not the same too, I have seen 705A. 705B, 705D, and they don't interchange Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Workman Vending Posted September 21, 2015 Author Share Posted September 21, 2015 I can attest that NC705s and A&A's 705 locks are different. The keys won't even fit each other.I'm looking at LAI's locks right now and it looks like they might be reselling Chicago locks, maybe? Does anybody know if they can make locks to any code or if they have their own set that they use?Also who can tell me anything about NW locks with the NOW1 code? I found a decent size batch of those I can pick up pretty cheap. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

musser Posted September 22, 2015 Share Posted September 22, 2015 I have some of the NOW1 locks too, nothing special about it, just a lock. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Workman Vending Posted September 22, 2015 Author Share Posted September 22, 2015 I have some of the NOW1 locks too, nothing special about it, just a lock. I guess what I'm really asking is until I'm able to convert to same-keyed and get my own key code, what codes are so common that I should avoid using them at all costs? I know NC705 is one, and A&A's 405. I imagine all of A&A's would be on the list since they only seem to have like 10 different keys. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
musser Posted September 23, 2015 Share Posted September 23, 2015 There are always people that will steal from your machines, almost always a competitor. But if your locations know you that is hard to do. I have some high security locks but only use them in locations with proven theft issues (and there are not that many). So I use a straight blade key (not round) everywhere I can because high security locks take longer to unscrew. Sounds like a small issue but when you are on a route that has all racks with multiple machines the time difference makes a big difference.
