What do you mean 'cocktail-style'? I forget who I ordered from, but I got a cylinder lock (the key 'teeeth' part is a hollow cylinder) so my cab has the authentic look I remember from when I was a 'Arcade Tech' (i.e., fixed coin jams, soldered switches, unjammed ticket mechs). Anyone that does orders from happ's can custom order you any lock they have. Highly recommend it. :) Worth the 5-6 bucks. I think I got mine via Divermaster. |

Check with SirPeale on these forums. He orders these for the community. I think I got mine from him for only $7. Very nice quality lock. |

Get a paperclip and jiggle it about in the lock and it should open. |

Do they look the same as a normal cabinet lock or are they shaped/angled different? Regarding the key thing I said - google 'cam lock' and you should see what I mean. The keyhole is a circle and the key is round. It's what I've always seen on 90's arcade cabs but...who knows whats stock and what isnt :) |
