swolgam:
Just bought an old Mario cab today and I need to know how to open the coin box without having the keys.  If there isn't a way then how do i make that area functional, do i need to replace it?

BrentRadio:
You can drill out the lock and just replace the lock. Or if you can get in the back door you may be able to reach the lock and undo the nut on it.

siddhartha:
If you drill out the lock, use the smallest possible bit and don't go all the way through to the latch. Just drill out the tumblers. This way, you can use any small key (or screwdriver) to open it and it remains fully functional -- albeit with little security.

shardian:
One thing I've never understood is how to effectively drill out the cylindrical/cam locks? The standard key lock was easy. I gave up on my cabinet with the other type. :dunno

Do you mean the ones that use the round key with notches on it like a "freezer key" ?
