Need help finding a certain arcade lock

chadandjody:

Sorry to revive an older thread like this but any suggestions on how to unlock one of these?  I just got an old Soul Caliber cabinet but it did not come with a key for the lock (almost the same as pictured in this thread).   It's the coin door lock so I can't just get to it from the back of the cabinet without cutting into the coin box.  I can see old tokens in the bottom of the coin bucket too, just mocking me!   Once I've got it unlocked then I'll just remove and replace with one that I actually have a key for.

*edit* whoops, mines actually a lock like this one: http://intersol.us/p7hg_img_1/fullsize/barrelLock1_fs.jpg.  Still, any help is appreciated.

Those are tough to pick - just get a carbide bit and drill it out.

NightGod:

You might just be able to shove a long screw driver in and break the lock with a hard twist. Failing that, fire up a drill like smalltownguy suggests.
