Coin drawer lock

Hi

Can anyone help me with how to remove a coin drawer lock and side door lock on a Ideal pop machine with out hauling a 250 lb.+ machine to a locksmith or worse having them come to my location miles away? I hope to remove it with out any damage to the lock itself or the machine.

Thanks!

Without the correct key, damage to the lock may be inevitable...

I've always just drilled out the lock and replaced with a new one if a key cannot be found.  What style of lock is it? Standard key or Ace type?

The printing on the lock say's "Chicago Lock Company" Standard I believe?

Thanks Jim

I just drilled the two locks out on my Ideal 85, no problem. And I will just replace them with locks from Fun-tronics. Now the fun part of tearing everything apart and repairing, replacing, painting, decaling and in this case adding a counter top.
