Agapevending Posted August 24, 2010 Share Posted August 24, 2010 My wife brought up a very good question today. So I thought I would post and see what you guys think What do you do if your locks are stuck. ? Is there away to fix that on site? so you don't have to pull the machine.

Faith Vending Posted August 24, 2010 Share Posted August 24, 2010 What type of machine? Yes, you should know every detail about your machines so you can fix right on site. It depends on what type of lock you have and if you need to drill to fix. I would not drill a lock out on location, just replace and fix at your shop at home.

Agapevending Posted August 24, 2010 Author Share Posted August 24, 2010 I do know all about my machines . I would drill it but I am hoping to avoid the issue should it come up. I have the bullet locks . Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dperry Posted August 24, 2010 Share Posted August 24, 2010 Sometimes I find that I can't unscrew a barrel lock. When that happens, I find that if I try to tighten it just a little bit, then the lock will get un-stuck. In the past, I have had issues where people have placed gunk in the threads of the lock and I've had to use a paper clip to try and pick the stuff out. That's worked ok.

Agapevending Posted August 25, 2010 Author Share Posted August 25, 2010 How did you hook the power supply. I don't think my cordless has enough power for lock drilling Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
havending Posted August 25, 2010 Share Posted August 25, 2010 When I bought it I took it to a adrian steel dealer the put in the mat and shelves and cage. They also put in the 110. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Quarter Master Posted August 25, 2010 Share Posted August 25, 2010 One really,really long cord. LOL! What he has is called an invertor. It will convert 12v DC to 110 AC. There pretty common in the trucking business. I've got two or three of them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
