Help! Missing key for the back panel of my P.O.W game

Sometimes you can unlatch the CP, and then remove the monitor bezel and then reach around the monitor without touching the HV circuit and get to the latch.  Or remove the monitor, too.

That's a good way to fry your arm on a charged up monitor HV circuit.

Well, I ended up drilling out that lock last night with no problems whatsoever.  I used a 1/4 bit and it took maybe 30 seconds.  I didn't damage the bit.  I had a replacement lock and key that I purchased from a local arcade vendor which installed really easy.  Thanks for all the comments that helped out.

...the Joust I had had a backdoor lock that some genius attempted to use a HOLE SAW to cut out around the lock.  Dumbass didn't realize there is a METAL PLATE the lock is attached to and he failed miserably.  When i got home,  30 seconds with a drill IN TO the lock and it was off...

Some people just try too hard.

Was this lock the type like a car key or was it one of the round keys like on a deep freezer/bicycle lock?
