Help with tubular lock

[tcbosco1]

Hello,

I have a pachinko machine with this tubular lock. Any suggestions on where I start to pick this, or how I can obtain a key?

Look for Sanyo/Sankyo K keys on ebay or talk to some pachinko/pachinslo collectors on other forums.

for picking, look at youtube videos for "SPP tubular lock" or "SPPing tubular lock"

I'll start you off:

watch this first (mainly for the animation, not the tool): https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=RJB2DtSMpa8

I would fabricate a tension tool like in video 2, or go to Sparrows for the Tubular tension tool. Then single pin pick, only turn slightly to keep pins at their depth. Determine cut from this. Will need to check if a Tubular key fits, if so, you will need a Blank. KLOM Makes a Tubular key cutter for under $100. You will have to locate cuts on the blank, then cut to the depths you determined. Not 8 divisions(7 pins) like a tubular. This looks like it is divided into seven, but only using 5. If you are off on your locations, looks like room for a wider cut on the key
Good Luck.

Where can I get a key for my Pachinko machine?

It looks like it is already partly picked. I also can't for the life of me see why a key can't be made for it. I have made keys for three or four 5-pin tubular locks in the past. There is a 5 pin tubular bicycle U-Lock in my collection.

Darn, looking at that again seems you need the blank with the Wings on it. So it can only be inserted or removed at 1 Spot, Seems if you Single Pin Pick, pins and could be removed, fall out through the Wings gap?

That is why I think it is partly picked. It was picked and turned until the next driver pins lined up.
