Opening a coin door without the keys?

SithMaster:

if he was trying to rip off an arcade hed be making a mistake they never have any quarters in them since no one goes to them anymore lol.

kidding but id think he wouldnt care about the best way to get them off without damaging the cab hed want to get in and out anyway.

but to answer your question you could but consider if it would be able to stay upright when the door would be open.  maybe cut the front so there is a frame around it (like keep some of the front panel connected) for support and for a place to mount a door.

NightGod:

Check out how he has it secured in there once you get inside-might just be a few screws with putty and paint over them from the front, so you could just dig those out and then cut a new sheet and hinge it in place.

And seriously, if you could walk into an arcade and get away with taking a drill to the locks, I'd say you deserve every quarter you get =p Not like someone who really wanted to break into an arcade would have alot of difficulty figuring out the logistics of it on-line. There's a reason most arcade machines you see on routes these days have bars welded across the front and high security padlocks in place.

Grauwulf:

If you don't want to drill the lock (which is my #1 option, BTW) unscrew the control panel and take it off. There will be an opening from the CP box into the pedestal you should be able to reach through and unscrew the arm off the back of the lock. If the hole is too small for your arm, there should be 4 bolts holding the CP box to the top of the pedestal, take them out and you will have a bigger hole to work in. Shouldn't take you more than 1/2 hour to do it going that way. With the drill and a good bit you'll be inside in 5 minutes.

NightGod:

1/2 hour to remove one screw off the back of the lock? Even if you have to unscrew the CP, a cordless drill and 2 minutes tops >.<

SithMaster:

pic the lock using a bic pen.  thats how i got mine off (lol).  just get a pen and take out the clear plastic piece that holds the ink and use that part.

you may have to cut the end so it bends easier.  dont cut it off but cut so that you would have 4 or so pieces at the end that bend.  i didnt explain that well but maybe you can find out what i mean.
