There are probably places where vending machines are sold second hand or repaired, these places would be the likeliest to have abloy locks and van locks and tubars and that sort of thing. most likely, if the keys are lost, the lock is replaced and the old lock thrown out. There will even be vending machines that are destroyed that will have locks on them that can be removed, look in your yellow pages for vending machine, then look for repair as a subsection. or parts, if you find the place, look for a dumpster, and go back again and again to the dumpster over a period of time, sooner or later, they will offer you something good to play with I bet. That is just a strategy that I thought up while reading your post, but I has a good chance of getting you an abloy. Remember if you find only parts of an abloy, take them, later you will find the whole thing or the other necessary parts.
