Any tips on drilling the Sega 5575 lock?

I have ordered new locks and keys but I suspect the coin box will be a different key.

The coin box is the only one still locked on my cab.

I won't try to drill until after I get the new locks and try the key.

If the key doesn't open the coin box how do I drill the lock to get it open?

This is the lock:


This is the key:



Should I drill at the center of the keyhole?

OR

Should I drill at the center of the entire lock?

Thanks!

If you have access to all other areas of the cab, can you get to the back of the coin door?  If so, is it possible to remove the entire door to access the back of the lock?  You can see the coin door from some machines but not others, so it's worth a shot.

The door is the coin valut box in the bottom right:

I don't think there is a way to get into that coin box without bypassing the lock.

Should I drill at the center of the keyhole?

OR

Should I drill at the center of the entire lock?

Thanks!

I would try jamming a large flat screwdriver in that lock and using a pair of vice grips try and turn it.

failing that. go for the center of the lock. (not slot)

I don't know what the lock design is like on the Sega cabs, but on the SNK Neo cabs, you can, with access to the main interior of the cabinet, get to the cam on the coin vault lock since it sticks up through a slot.  What I did to break in was take a big flat screwdriver, rest it on the cam at an angle, and give the other end a good whack with a hammer.  The lock did not survive, and the vault was easily opened.  No mess, no fuss.
