Zack9r Posted June 19, 2018 Share Posted June 19, 2018 I have a 7 pin keyed alike tubular (circle) key, and i bought this used vending machine for 3/4 the price because the owner before lost the key. Can someone tell me what kind of key this is and where to buy one? Thanks! -Zack Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Corvus Corax Posted June 19, 2018 Share Posted June 19, 2018 If it is a Coke machine you can probably get a set of 200 keys. They go from 201 to 208 I think, and one will work. It looks like there is a number printed on it. If you can clean it up some so you can read the number, you can look that up. Barring that, get your drill out.

flintflash Posted June 19, 2018 Share Posted June 19, 2018 I would just drill it out and put in your own lock. Why search for and buy and oddball key for one machine? Keep your equipment keyed the same . Cost-wise, it will be the same. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I never thought about doing that, i guess i didnt want the potential risk of damaging my machine. Thanks! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Get a tiny bit that'll fit in the slot and drill those pins one by one until it pops open, There's probably enough change in there to easily buy another lock (and Key) This takes about ten minutes and is way easier than trying to find a key.

I you drill straight thru the center of the lock face, it should break apart, allowing the T-handle to pop open and this should not damage your machine at all, just the barrel lock.

SCOTT1963 Posted June 22, 2018 Share Posted June 22, 2018 This is the kind of thing that needs discussed in a PM, not a good plan to have a searchable message board with instructions on how to break into our equipment Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
