CoastVending Posted November 3 Share Posted November 3 Hey everyone! I am the owner of three machines and I plan to buy and place many more. I like having duplicates of keys for machines in case I ever lose one, and I have been looking into buying a tubular key maker so I can just make them myself. I found the listing on AliExpress (I have bought from this site before and I know what I am getting myself into) and its around $40 before shipping. I am not sure if all vending machines take the same key size, from my research there is 4 different sizes of tubular keys. Does anyone know if there is one standard size or if machine locks come in a variety of sizes. Thank you to all who are taking your time to help!

tblake05 Posted November 3 Share Posted November 3 Why not just buy a matching set of cores for your locks and not mess around with making keys. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

AZVendor Posted November 4 Share Posted November 4 I've never seen locks like those. You can get locks keyed alike from LAI. https://www.laigroup.com/pdf/acc_200901_web.pdf 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CoastVending Posted November 7 Author Share Posted November 7 Where is the best places to buy locks and keys for vending machines from? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AZVendor Posted November 7 Share Posted November 7 Did you not like the link I gave you? You can try D&S or Vendors Exchange. Most of the independent vending lock companies are no longer. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tblake05 Posted November 8 Share Posted November 8 Lsi like AZ said. we had a common key for all our machines for our First years starting out. Then bought all new cores and 6 keys to match. All a controlled key code. When I need a new key or a new lock, I just order it online with my specific key code. That way no other guys with say a b0600 can get into our machines.
