Very weird lock ?

Postby bibi » 18 Oct 2009 11:27

Hi guys, I saw this weird lock on a coca cola vending machine. I was wondering what it was

It's not a tubular, since it's "full". I cannot find any info on google. Any idea ?

Thanks

What kind of tool do you need ? On youtube, the guy seems to have pretty standard tools, doesn't he ?
