How tight does your coin door lock?

Pages: (1/1)

SeanFu:

I just installed some barrel locks into my over-under coin door(s).  The doors have some "rattle" to them when they're locked.  I don't think a shorter lock would work.

Should I employ my hammer here? or is this expected.



APFelon:

Hammer or pliers should do the trick. You might want to remove the tab from the lock first (although I admit I usually don't).

Pliers work fine. :)

paigeoliver:

Your lock probably came with several different bars that can be installed on it to tune it to a better fit for your application, from there you bend it a bit to make it fit better.

You still may have some play in it though. I have lots of games, and the coin doors vary a bit in how tight they lock.

CM:

A little bit of foam around the inside edge can make the rattle stop.  I bought mine from a local collector and he had a foam gasket already made for this very thing.
