Title: Anyone need cam locks for your coin door or back door?
Post by: SirPeale on November 11, 2008, 12:41:39 pm
Took me six years, but I ran out of cam locks.  So I'm looking to get a big order again.

For those of you who ordered from me before, it'll be the same number key as before. 

For those who haven't: these are quality Illinois Lock Company brand locks.  double bitted key 1382.

I get them in both 7/8" and 1 1/8" lengths.

And I'll have to find out about price, but I suspect they'll be the same as the last batch I offered: $3.00 each for double.

Do you know what size a nintendo cocktail cab would use?

Actually, no; that's a good question.  5/8" maybe?

Just bumping for interest.  These locks are for coin doors and back doors (or whatever you want, really, but in this hobby these are the most common use).
Title: Re: Anyone need cam locks?
Post by: HaRuMaN on November 12, 2008, 02:42:41 pm
I probably need 5 or 6 myself, just replacing locks without keys on stuff I bought at auction.  (If it fits what I have, that is).

Nintendo tables use 5/8" long locks. Keyed alike to key #K6510 Ace style.

I need:
3 for Punch-Out
2 for Ms. Pac
3 for 720

I haven't checked yet, but does anyone know a common list of sizes for machines?
Title: Re: Anyone need cam locks?
Post by: SirPeale on November 12, 2008, 03:55:31 pm
Over/under coin doors: 7/8" top and bottom.
Midway style coin doors: 1 1/8"
Williams/Asteroids style coin door: 7/8"

Back doors are usually 7/8" (I think).
Title: Re: Anyone need cam locks?

Thanks.  That helps out a lot.

So, when are you deciding whether to go through with this?
Title: Re: Anyone need cam locks?
Post by: SirPeale on November 12, 2008, 04:18:06 pm
When I have enough people interested to make it worth my while.

And, unlike prior "pre-orders" I'm going to ask for money up front.   Last pre-order thing I did I got saddled with a bunch of extra stuff because  half the people who wanted stuff flaked on me.

No money yet, though; I would like an interest in at LEAST 100 locks.

Can you get keyless cam locks?

...if so,  what's the price?  These are GREAT for back doors.
Title: Re: Anyone need cam locks?
Post by: SirPeale on November 12, 2008, 05:11:33 pm
I'll see what I can do.  For the most part I'm concentrating on regular locks.

It's been a year.  I'm trying this again from scratch - anyone need locks?

At this moment in time the prices are:

$3.00 each for double bitted, keyed alike locks.

And for anyone that's bought from me before, it'll be the same key.
Title: Re: Anyone need cam locks for your coin door or back door?
Post by: Red 5 on September 18, 2009, 01:22:49 pm
I will take 3. 2 coin door and 1 back door.

How much to 76135?

Thanks,

Jon

Title: Re: Anyone need cam locks for your coin door or back door?
Post by: SirPeale on September 18, 2009, 01:33:55 pm
It's a preorder.  So multiply the number of locks by $3.00.  And you'll have to specify length.

As for the shipping cost, I'd like to keep it as low as humanly possible, so I'm going to try USPS 1st class.  Shouldn't be more then three bucks or so.  Locks are heavy.

Single bitted key 700 and double bitted key 1382.

Dumb question....What is "bitted"?

I'm interested...

Post by: DashRendar on September 18, 2009, 04:37:07 pm
I need one for the back door on my Midway cab, SirPeale.

Keyless would be cool, but if not available, no worries.

I'm interested...

Single bitted has teeth on one side of the key, double on both sides.

And I'm pretty sure I'm only doing double.  It's not worth the trouble of keeping both around for home use.

I need one for the back door on my Midway cab, SirPeale.

Keyless would be cool, but if not available, no worries.

Wouldn't be keyless, no.  Only the one?

I it helps you make your numbers, count me in for 5 or so. I don't actually need them now but I got some from you last time and I like having them all on the same key.

No set deadline, and I'm going to get extras on top of what people want here.  A week tops, I think.  It all depends on how quickly people get their money to me after I start asking for it.

Post by: protokatie on September 21, 2009, 10:26:55 pm
I am suprised that DiveMaster isn't involved in this. I will eventually need cam locks (only 2 of the longer sort) but ATM I don't need them. Have you hit up DM on this? There will always be a market here for cam locks, and I could see him buying a good 50 or so and reselling them for less than the "normal" prices I have seen and still make a profit. (And the "normally" priced ones I have seen go for 7 bucks and do not offer matching keys... :<)

EDIT: When I say "not offer matching keys" I mean they have only lock per lock matching keys, not a series of locks that work with a series of keys...
Title: Re: Anyone need cam locks for your coin door or back door?
Post by: SirPeale on September 22, 2009, 07:47:09 am
I don't think DM has these locks.  These are Illinois Lock Company brand locks.

The good news: I think the price is going to come down a wee bit.  I'll know more when I can get a finalized amount.

Oh sorry, 7/8" for all 5, I'm pretty sure I can use the 7/8" for the back door (it doesn't have a hole yet) and the other two are meant to be extras.

question.. how do i measure to find out what size i need?

is it from nose to tail? or do you measure only the threaded part or what?

It only comes with a straight cam.  I /think/ it's a C625.

Obviously it's up to you, but I wonder if it would be better or easier to just offer 7/8 locks and have them come with a straight and offset cam.  Then the user has the option of using it as a 7/8" lock or a 1 1/8" lock or even a 5/8" lock.  Also, you would only have to buy 1 size lock and it might be easier to stock or make your minimum purchase.  Thoughts?

That would involve getting the separate cams.  I can see if I can get the offsets, but the place I'm purchasing them from has assured me that regardless of length I can still get the quantity discount.

question.. how do i measure to find out what size i need?

You measure the threaded part, yes.  Over/Under doors, Coin Controls doors (like you'd find on a Williams Classic cab) take a 7/8" lock.  Midway doors (Pac-Man, Galaga, etc) take a 1 1/8".

I will take 4 for a neogeo MVS Cabinet. I need one for the coin door and the coin collector door and two for the top of the cabinet were the speaker are located. Let me know if those lock will work with it please

The coin doors are easy - 7/8" (over/under, correct?).  I believe the upper ones are 5/8", and I wouldn't replace them if you already have them.  Keep that key in your coin door.  I'm sure someone more knowledgeable than I about Neo Geo cabs will speak up...

I don't have the key to them. I just obtain the cabinet less then a week and also the locks are busted on top part. i am going to unscrew them  today.

Measure them, they're measured by the threaded part.  I think they're 5/8".  I can see if I can get a couple of them while I'm @ it.

They also might be special because don't they have a lock bar or some kind of hasp?  It's been a while since I worked on a Neo Geo cab.

Pics are handy.

Could use (2) for my Gauntlet Legends cab.  Should be Wells-Gardner Part #891-0547-00 double D cam lock.  Over/Under two entry coin door.  Can't measure the size, 'cause it came with no locks at all installed!  Can't find the dimensions for this part # online either.  Would it be a 7/8" length?  Door thickness appears to be 3/4" and where it shuts, the frame is close to 1" thick.  ???  What do you think? 
Title: Re: Anyone need cam locks for your coin door or back door?

I'm thinking very soon.  I've had the number I needed for a while now, but people keep asking about them, so I've put it off.  Those numbers have dwindled now, so...

Anyone else?  Last chance.
Title: Re: Anyone need cam locks for your coin door or back door?
Post by: SirPeale on October 14, 2009, 02:07:18 pm
The good news: I can get 5/8" locks.

The bad news: They won't have the same key as the 7/8" and the 1 1/8" ones.  But all the 5/8" will have the same key within themselves.

Also: no offset cams available.  Sorry.

So: consider this a GO.  I'll be contacting those interested shortly with a total.  Please pay promptly to not hold others up.
