My machine is here, set up and partially stocked BUT I can't get the coin door unloced.  The key fits and it turns but the door wont budge a bit.  An suggestions?

Round corner machine I assume , turn the key & gently push in  on the bottom of the rectangular door latch while "kneeing"  the door closed & see if it releases sometimes the mechanism gets stuck (as you can see!) then you can try gently prying up on the bottom of the door latch witha flat blade screwdriver...

I've tried everything to no avail.  Could I have a lock smith come out and remove and replace the lock?  Would that work?

Try pushing firmly on the coin door, on the lock side, while turning the key in the hopes of relieving any tension on the locking bar and the locking hocks.

Otherwise, you'll have to drill out the lock in order to get to the locking bar so you can move it into the unlocked position.

-------------------------------------------------------

At this point, if the key doesn't unlock it then drilling out the lock will not work either. Disregard my previous note above!

Do you know if this lock is original or has it been replaced...?

Push down on it too - not hard enough to bend the hinge though.
Also - Is the lock turning 180 degrees? It should! Try squeezing some powdered graphite in the lock to ease it a bit.

No idea if this is the original lock.  And right now its not turning very much at all more of a wiggle than actually turning.

Have you tried getting a screwdriver to it...

Even if it doesn't do the lock it gets rid of all that pent up aggression.

Just drill it, and replace the lock. I do that to 90% of the machines I get.

Hi Bryan
  It is the origonal lock. Sadly, I should have screwed the coin door on loosely and made sure the lock worked freely. It shouldn't be the lock but the catches at the ends of the locking bar, pressure in the right place should do the trick. When I get really frustrated I find the best thing to do is walk away, and pray. Then go back to it later.
