Title: Coin Mech on Ideal Slider Post by: hunter on June 14, 2011, 07:02:34 pm I have an Ideal Slider with the Frankenstein coin mech. Which way do you turn the key to open this type of unit up. Counter clockwise or Clockwise? :oh: I can pick most regular locks but have never tried the round key ones for vending machines. Thought I would give it a shot but would be helpful if I knew which way to turn it.
Thanks Steve Title: Re: Coin Mech on Ideal Slider Post by: johnieG on June 14, 2011, 09:51:45 pm It would depend on which type of round/tubular ( sometimes called an "ACE" style ) lock it has , most open with a 1/4 turn counter-clockwise...
they have a cam type locking bar & earlier types also have two sliding locking pins that hold the coin-box in place. I've ofter resorted to grasping the lock's housing with a pair of vice-grip pliers & wrenching the whole housing around to unlock it. and then I replace the lock of course.

It came apart just as you said, and I did have the 2 locking pins as well. Now I need to get a new lock with keys I can find!!!!!!!!! Thanks Steve |
