Title: Finding new keys or locks for CVB-106
Post by: on January 29, 2007, 09:37:55 pm
Hello all,

I recently acquired a CVB-106 from my old boss who had had this machine sitting in his garage for a while. I have been doing some reading up on it from some posts here. The machine does not have a key, and I would like to get either a key or a new lock for this machine (in order to limit the kids from running in and out of the machine just grabbing cokes.) I looked at some of the sites listed that sell parts for soda mcahines, but did not see anything specific for my model.

Is there a generic lock that will work for a "T" handle that would work for my machine. I just want to make sure before I purchase something that I can't use.

Thanks,

Chris

Chris,

Welcome to Soda-Machines.Com !
I think you'll hear that a photo is worth a thousand words...

If you can take a digital photo of the lock assembly in question, we'll be better informed to solve the issue...

Since you mentioned "T-Handle", I would assume this is an "ace style" lock assembly... You'll have to drill the lock to unlock the door so a replacement can be installed. I'm not up on this style of lock, but I think it will be difficult to locate a key...

If it is an ACE circular type key, a old-time locksmith can probably make a key.
He will have to have the depth guages and such.
Search around for a locksmith that has been around a while.

Hello

When I had my big CV I just bought an ACE lock off ebay. Worked fine.

FYI I have a container full of parts for a CV machine. I bought machine & pulled everything for spare parts. I never got around to listing it ebay after I sold my CV

Plus I have CV manuals that will come in handy.  $ 7 for the manual.

Well, I guess I didn't include enough info. The lock is actually unlocked, that way we can get in and out of the machine. I would like to get a lock to allow me to lock up the machine. As far as an "ACE" type lock, I'm not quite sure what that would be. So I have included photos of the lock/handle in its current condition now below.

Thanks for the help so far.

ACE type keys and locks refer the the cylinder like keys that fit into the round key holes.

I am sure you can find something to fit your handle.
Unfortunately I'm not the guy to ask on that.
I do not own any t-handle lock machines.

Did all CV machines come with a built in hand truck on the left side or something?  ???  :p

It appears that way, doesn't it?

Hello

Yes they did because they are back breakers.  I would not recommed a one person trying to move them.

They are much easier to move with the big vending rack removed.
