As a new member (we dont know you, and no trust has been established as to the reason you are asking) and first time poster (no established pattern of what you like to pick as many of us like collecting and picking locks for fun, only a direct question about the defenses of a money container), you will get a lot of scrutiny for asking about a lock on something that many people would like to have the key to, or know how to pick or drill in order to either get money or get free services.
We get a few of such posts per month, usually for washing machine locks, coke machines, payphones, college dorm rooms, swimming pool gates, and similar public equipment which has layers of defenses because people will and have attacked such equipment in the past. Greenwald and ESD make these door and they sell them in different lock configurations (some are Ace II, some are Medeco, some are Duo, all of which are inherently hard to drill and hard to pick, but put that shroud over the keyway and the extra layers of security provide much better protection against an attacker determined to get in for money or to access internal wiring/switches.
Your model is the Quadrant keyway with Medeco lock. Medeco is very hard to pick and drill for most average non-locksmith people, and that metal cone as well as the anti drill quadrant make it even harder to get into, which is what the purpose of the product is, especially in an out of the way apartment complex basement laundry room where someone could have unlimited time to try to drill or pick one.
If my friend's reply was too abrupt, we just see a lot of these cell phone close up photos of vending locks and people asking questions on their 1st forum post, it just makes spidey senses tingle and red flags go up, I'm sure you can understand where we're coming from. This site is for hobbyists and we do our best to keep the hobby ethical and not train or educate someone who may be up to no good, and Im not saying you're up to no good, but some people reading this may be.
Have a good weekend,
