Title: Locks for main door
Post by: davet426 on January 04, 2007, 05:55:38 pm
Do I need anything particular for these locks, or can I just purchase any barrle lock to replace the existing with no key? See ebay item, it will work?
I also need to get in one of the machines, I have heard of people drilling them. Drill bit in the center and go?
Lock for main door?
Thanks

Use a 5/16" drill bit and drill out the center. Than use a screwdriver to turn the cam.

WOW! What a great concept!! Look at the old lock and see if the new one matches it 
... See, you guys make it to easy to ask dumb questions sometimes 
. No the link does not look like mine. I posted some pics and did not see any omn e-bay. Would this be a "Lowes pickup" or a specialty lock? Where can I find them?
Thanks

Alphanumeric codes were stamped into the face of most locks.
Does yours have a number stamp under the masking tape?
Some keys are still available.

Thanks Tom. Would that be on the face of the actual barrel? Because all that is on there is "FLEX-ACE". It looks like there might have been something on the center piece of the barrel, but all I can make out is an "A" because of wear.

Your machines seem to have been fitted for
security with heavy duty locks. Anyway you should
only need the inserts for the barrel lock
Otherwise, order a standard lock from one of our
suppliers and change them out completely, although you will
need to plug some holes.
