Dryer coin box

[NewcombAll]

I work maitenance at an apartment building and usually when I get bored or on lunch I'll find locks to play around with and yesterday the other maitenance guy told me he was sure I couldn't pick one of the dryer coin boxes. So we had an extra kicking around so I played with it for about 20 minutes. In the first ten I took it apart and checked it out and in the next ten I picked it. So it was a pretty big let down when It picked so easy, it appears to be a double bitted disc tumbler? I'm not really sure but has anyone ever tried their hand at one of these?

I have as part of my job but this isnt a discussion for the public sections, please have a read of the rules,

Any discussion that could lessong the security of such things along with safes and vehicle locks etc etc are for the advanced sections,

I have worked on these before, replaced locks on them, the lock you picked was probably a greenwald version of the illionis duo double sided wafer lock with side cuts. picking it can be difficult on some versions. there is also a company called ESP who make abloy versions for this type of coin box, but the keyway on your picture is not abloy, I have seen Tubar locks in some coin machines. If you have to work on one, it can take weeks for greenwald to send you the new lock or key.
