Why do you need to know?

Not something that any responsible member here is going to answer from a user with one post.

Oh MacGyver, you've always been so clever! I remeber that time you made a laser with duct tape and a paper clip...what ever happened to the good 'ol days? :mrgreen:

hey this is a little bit off subject but i seen somewhere on the internet that there is a code for the soda machine that you can accsess the menu to get free pop, but its just hard for me to believe. Its just on the newer pop machines though the ones with the big ol' buttons on them. Macgyver is right up there with the A-team haha which are both pretty kick t.v series ha

Not only the ones with the big buttons... but yea it's true, but most of the time you can only get stock information and how much has been sold, everything useful is locked up. There's other tricks with soda machines but it would be irresponsible to share them.

In all seriousness, are most vending machines 7 or 8 pin tubular locks?

well not 7 or 8 pin locks are the same now because of the ace 2 - and even then you are starting to see 10 pin and now the new octagon style tubulars

One of the vending machines I had to replace a lock for Coca Cola had something like Drumm geminy on it, the guy wouldn't let me keep the old one :(.

most of the machines that are outside in public areas also have a cage build atround them so you can't shack the machine, and it makes it a lot harder to steal.

yes.


Most vending machines are Baton, Abloy, or Medeco. I haven't seen a tubular lock on a Coke or Vending machine in a while.

besides, why do you need to know so bad.

I was going to post an entire new thread on this subject - but this will do !

The Southord pick might be the most oversold- under utilize pick in the history of picks.

I would guess that most buyers believe that the purchase of this product will lead to the life of riches in the form coins .... the sad truth is the tool might be used once or twice and then gathers dust only to be broken and shown to friends as a novelty device.

Also most large vending machine CORPORATIONS are well aware that these picks are being sold over the internet and have now put in secondary measures to render the pick useless.

the simple fact is the tubular lock is becoming a thing of the past.
