Know what type of lock this is?

I have really not found any information about this lock style, so I though that I would try here. Yes, this is one of those posts about a specific item that I would like to get into. I have read the FAQ and such that this is not what the forum is about. But, I have also read a few threads about similar topics where some information from the community has helped.

Yes this is my machine, and yes you can not verify it. You also can't verify that my employee locked the only key inside the machine, but I know that to be true too. I have a small set of Southord pics that I have tried, but I have no idea how this lock works so I really wasn't expecting much. My first choice is to pick it open and my next choice is to drill and replace. I thought I would post before I drill. Ideas?

Thanks

Because of the type of lock this is, there are few-to-no non-destructive methods of entry. Picking it with a standard pickset won't get you anywhere, since this isn't a pin-tumbler lock. Since - as you indicate - destructive entry is outside what the forum covers, I'll leave it there. Good luck!

I freaking love the internet!!! :D :D

It's an Abloy High Profile and so the chances of you picking it are very slim. Unless you want to spend $$$ on a kick ass tool for it. :wink:

We do not discuss getting into vending machines in the open forum. Am locking this thread.
