identify this key maker

[chuckkendel]

Hello, sorry I could not search as I don't know what this lock is called.

I am refurbishing an old stand up arcade game console. I am refurbishing it and trying to get past a tubular lock. I am hoping to find the manufacturer of the lock.

Any idea who makes/made it?



Thanks

Looks like the metal on a washing machine, haha.

What game is it? I would google the name of the game, the word arcade and the words tubular lock and see what the results have to offer.

Looks like the Larger Tubular Lock, also used Gas Pumps. Going to Google "Large Tubular Locks", see what shows up.

Is that Larger than the normal AceII? Looks like 7 pins, with larger spacing.
Good Luck

I'm starting to believe this lock is on a washing machine.. that sure looks like a Greenwald Industries brand lock

I'm going to lock this thread unless OP provides a wider photo to show this entire arcade machine cabinet that looks like a washing machine close up, so our mistake if it is fact an arcade cabinet.

Please note, we don't teach people how to get into vending machines or washing machines or parking meters.

The "G" on the center post could be for Greenwald that made alot of the washing machine locks. Most of the locks had a tamper proof guard around them but this may be an earlier version or it just leads to a service area of the machine versus money area.

Had looked through Greenwald Industries, just, can't find one with the G on it, like you say, may be older, if Greenwald.
Squelchtone, the Color does look like "Appliance White"

From the link I posted above, here is a photo
modern Greenwald logo:


and here is an old Greenwald logo:

Same logo in both the key and the lock pics. One is just turned an additional 90 degrees.

I'd really like that see that stand up arcade game the OP is fixing up... it is called Laundry Simulator 2000?

ahem..

The game console brand is "Astro City". And the door that has the lock is to get into the main compartment that has the circuit board. I already have the key for coin collection.

well, I was wrong, my apologies. It really is an arcade machine.

First time I've seen an arcade game in that color, too. Then again, been a loooooong time since I've been to an arcade.

Looks like something for the Japanese market.

Nice Photos, We were thinking It was some Washing Machine Arcade game looking thing. Couple Options, Locksmith, Learn to Pick the Lock, YouTube, without access to Advanced, may not be able to help.
You want to do without hurting or scratching it.
Good Luck
