I just bought a choice vend cvc168 with the flex ace tubular lock but with no key....I've tried the bic pen thing...no luck.
Anyone have any ideas how to open it without damage?
I'd buy a tubular lock pick but 80.00 is quite high for a few uses for me.
This machine sat inside ALL its life and would LOVE to just be able to only have to buy a new key.
If not...whats the best way to pop it open (if I have to replace the lock, I guess that would have to do)
thanks in advance people.

       Lock and 2 keys including shipping for a tubular lock, is cheaper than a locksmith.
Take your drill to it.

thats what I thought....are all locks the same for these?
Wheres the best place to get one?
Never had to deal with these (or no key locks) before
anyone with a link to the lock/key?

 Check funtronics and sodajerkworks. Both are great to deal with and have lots of parts. You'll porobably have to pull your old lock first to make sure you get the right one. If you have trouble finding the one you need, call them.
