I got a couple of coin door locks cheap at the local Home Depot.

Just look in their locks section -- they've got lots of different locks, and I found one that fit perfectly in my coin door for less than $5.

On the happ coin doors, i'm pretty sure the locks are of the 7/8" variety.  I know the happ over/under coin door is for sure, i just checked the schematics and looked up the lock by its part #.  I imagine its gonna be the same for most coin doors.  Am i understanding correctly that your coin door uses 4 locks?  Or do you have 2 coin doors using 2 locks each?

All coin doors manufactured since 1994 conform to JAMMA standards and they use 7/8" locks.

Peale has been trying to stir up some interest for a large order of locks:

Next I'll be on fries, and that's when the big money starts rolling in.

$2.57 is a good price.  I looked at Home Depot, and they wanted $3 + for one.  Not bad, but I was looking for cheaper.  I found it online, but only in quantity.

I went with the Lowes/Home Depot locks at first, then turned around and bought a sack full of proper arcade locks while I was at the amusement distributor's parts counter. The price difference ended up being about 25 cents a lock, though the difference in quality was well worth that extra quarter.

I've found that the typical locks at Home Depot and Lowe's are crap. They don't fit the lock hole and you've got to file the hole. Half the time they're out of stock of the 7/8" locks anyway.

 Many amusement parts companies like Competitive Products, Mazzco, Betson-Imperial, Happ, and Wico have real amusement machine locks on sale all the time.

I got one that fit my Defender cab perfectly at Home Depot.  It's fine.
