Does the lock have number on it?

Pick the lock if you can be bothered or take the easy route and drill it.
Or wait until the keys turn up (they usually magically appear as soon as you’ve drilled the lock)

What type of lock do you have? Show us the pic, don't drill it yet...Hey guys need advice on the best way forward. I seem to have lost the keys for Tommy
Have any of you had the same experience and what did you do to get the door open?
Yep that’s what I expect!Pick the lock if you can be bothered or take the easy route and drill it.

I’ve tried some but not all, I’ll give the others a go tomorrow
Looks like a Fort Lock.
Key probably looks like this either chrome or brass

It's probably either a 7500 or 1382. They are by far the most common after market locks put onto machines. I can send you one of each to try if you like?
Buy these unless you have young kids.
They are just over £5 for a keyed or keyless lock.
Get a drill out.
I get phone calls from people who I have sold jukes and pins to saying 'I do not suppose you have a spare key?"
Age old problem easily solved unless you own an arcade. And in that case, get locks keyed the same.

Put the drill down, you don't need the swarf! Try this first.... www.youtube.com/watch?v=kh2kkK0YHxo
It worked for me in seconds on a few coin doors.

Pretty much my technique but with a key of similar ilk. I'm liking this method though.
You can buy one from from me directly!
(Just stick it in an jangle the bejebus out of it, it'll go.)
If anyone is after one like mine and the one in the video it's similar to this. It's cheap, nasty, it will bend if you're really heavy handed with it but it will work (on basic locks anyway).
