Anybody know any tricks for geting past coin door locks without drilling?
Recntly, I got a machine (through legitimate means!) that the owner did not have the keys for,
though it is set on free play.  The thing is, It sounds like theres about 70$ in quarters in this thing when I  picked it up!  Also I would like to be able to access the front test switch and volume knob without having to drill out the existing locks-  can you guys make any suggestions?  Thanks in advance!

Most are pretty easy to pick... takes a bit of time but I've done it several times with a paper clip.

WTF youre kidding right?  Thats not something you can teach huih?   ;D

If you can get in the back, you could climb through and unscrew the latch and loosen the bolt holding on the lock, and remove it that way.  If you do end up having to drill, you'd only have to do the back one to get to the coin door one.

if its a flat key lock then ram in a flat blade srewdriver and use some grips to twist it
