Abloy on pepsi machine ?

[Jaakko]

Inside of the locks are a series of discs that must be rotated to the proper degree to allow a sidebar to retract and allow rotation of the inner "sleeve".

Here is a pic of an abloy cutaway I made on my mill to show something similar to the lock you saw. The second pic is another example which is an anchor las 11 disc system.

i am in the mood that i go and look at all the locks

we have execs i believe on all of our vending machines in our school, dont really know why they would put such high security locks on just a vending machine though...

I would have thought that key-control is paramount in the vending industry as an unscrupulous employee with keys could walk off with a lot of money.

As for pick/bump proof, theives will typically take the easiest way in to get what they want. When the stakes are high (large amounts of untraceable money), and brute force is made very difficult, ensuring that the locks are pick-resistant is important.

If a burglar is looking to break into a house, smashing the window is easier than picking a medeco deadbolt, but for getting into a vending machine the rest of the unit is typically secure enough that paying some attention to the lock is important.

yes, but people are constantly going in and out of the halls, and it takes more than 2 minutes to pick an american/best/aceII

Yes deathadder, but if it is done by say a former employee who had a duplication made of that american, best, or ace key then you start to see the benefits of a restricted system.

The number of posts I am posting is by no means an attempt to get into the advanced area

They are lying to you about what you have to do to get in. You have to pick the lock.

Well it's either an Abloy type lock or a AceII. If I was running a vending company I would not be willing to risk it on any Ace lock. The technique to open a regular Ace has motivated enough people to go after either Ace locks I bet.

I've written a few articles for the vending trade, and I tell them and tell them how easy some locks/tools are to get. But, (sigh), nobody listens.

lol im STILL in that stage of checking out every single lock i see, even if i already know what it is. whenever im walking around ill notice how many locks there are everywhere, something the non-lockpicker wouldnt normally realize.

some one was haveing a sale out of there storage unit yesterday and walking through there, its amazing how many people use poorly constructed locks on their storage unit.
But it was kinda cool, like a kid in a candy store .
I was like, I could open that , I havent seen one of those, and my wife was just rolling her eyey at me, as ususal.
Any way I think about just abiut every lock I see.
Scored 11 padlocks in a box for $3, I was stoked.

Sounds like an Abloy Protec/Exec if it's got an hourglass key profile. I also check out every interesting lock I see. I've had some pretty odd looks from people

Another you might know is the Tubar, typically found on condom dispensers in mens toilets at airports and the like.
