Help! Missing key for the back panel of my P.O.W game

NightGod:
As for replacing the lock, Lowe's and Home Depot (and many other hardware stores, I would imagine) carry them, they call them "Mailbox locks". Easy to find and cost under $5.

I also carry them.  7/8" length and 1 1/8" length, double bitted, keyed alike.  $4.00 each shipped.

If you have a decent drill it is easy to drill a lock.  Just takes a little longer than wood but is not at all difficult.  I have no idea why you'd mangle drill bits in the process unless you're either using the wrong bit or excessively cheap bits.  The tumblers are pretty soft and drill right through with patience.

SithMaster:
Is there an air vent on the top of the cab you could slip your arm through to try and loosen the lock?  On my defence command i removed a block of wood off the top and was able to wiggle the cam so i could remove the door.

Of course this was after i tried drilling the lock out only to find the key on a hook inside the coin door which had a lock on it but it was missing the cam so it wasnt locked.

Or you can try a ball point pen to pick the lock.

ChadTower:

Just drill it... it's a cheap item and you don't even need it in home use.
