So I just got back into town after a week in Colorado... and one of the high points of the trip was a stop in a bathroom (oh, hush), wherein I happened to notice a condom dispensing machine, secured at the top by a... Medeco cam lock?
Just thought I'd mention it  Good times. Didn't have a camera, sorry.

i'm inclined to wonder just how desperate people would be to necessitate a medeco lock to protect hapless rubbers...
and why i can never seem to be in such situations where i'd need one that badly.
woe to me! and them!

I was in Memphis TN two weeks ago when I stopped at a gas station. Saw a condom machine in the bathroom and instantly wanted to know what type of like it had, and sure enough I got to see my first Medeco lock that wasn't one of my practice ones. We don't have Medeco locks or condom machines in my town. So it was an experience all around. Oh yeah and I was there driving a church mission group to the airport. So I couldn't exactly share my enthusiasm with the rest of the group.

The vending industry thought they had secure locks with the ACE tubular locks and then couldn't figure out why the machines were coming up empty of money and product. Of course, many people found out how easy the tubular locks were to pick open and were opening the machines and removing money and goods.
Medeco developed a drop-in replacement for the vending machine locks and did a good job marketing it to the industry, hence the widespread use of them.

Plus, we all know how valuable condoms are. 
Some things may be pick proof, but everything can be bypassed....

What about those people that are bi-sexual?
They use their left and right hands

Good times is right. Welcome to the high country, come back often. And next time leave our PROTOCOL personal product machines alone.Thanks.

"Panorama" is NOT an anagram of "Macro"! Go sit in the corner. 
 If it ain't broke.....pull it down and see how it works anyway!
