  • I was given this vending machine without any keys. We had to drill out the tubular lock to get access to the machine & test it. I had to use titanium drill bits that were made to drill into metal.

    WORKED LIKE A CHAMP! THANK YOU! THANK YOU! THANK YOU! We lost the keys for our vending machine at the office. I first tried an old junk battery drill from the office and an old drill bit and wasn't getting anywhere. So i went to Home Depot and bought an 1/8" and 1/4" hardened drill bits and brought my drill from home. I was able to drill into it with the 1/4" in seconds and the lock popped right out! I was able to remove the old lock with a screwdriver by pressing down on the latch on the cylinder. I then installed the new lock. This would have taken me under 2 minutes for the whole process if I would've started with a good drill and drill bit. Thanks again!

    THANK YOU. After so many instructions on how to pick (failed) or replace (locks are corroded/frozen even key will not work) I finally get some useable info. My truck bed tool boxes have me locked out of my tools. replacing all this fancy crap with lock hasps and keyed alike padlocks. Apparently vending machine locks are NOT all weather...

    Tubular impressionist pick, is better, imo. If it’s high security with variable springs and drivers then you can use the tubular pick tool and just SPP it by moving each wire manually.
    Or, tubular tension wrench and SPP it but you’ll have to pick it 7 times for a full turn.

    Worked great! Thanks!
    I thought I was going to need a bigger bit but it went quickly with the small bit right in the notch.

      What bit size

      @hustleusa oh shoot. I don't remember, it's been so long. But no harm in working up to a bigger size if you need it.

    This was very helpful, and successful. I ended up using a #29 drill bit before the spring broke and the lock opened.
    Initially I tried a Southord tubular lock pick but the lock had seized, so drilling out the lock was plan B.
    Thanks for this video, very helpful. Now I can finally reload our Coke machine.

    I have to agree. I have never had that kind of success drilling out a lock. Also, takes me several titanium and cobalt bits... and an hour and a half of my time.

      Not every one goes this well, but this is indeed for real. I don't know what else to say. You have to make sure your bit goes through just above the round cylinder in the back, which you can't see. It's precision work, and I hit it just right on this drill-out. It doesn't go this smoothly every time, but my experience is that this method worked for us on these two machines which we didn't get keys with.

    Thanks for posting this! It gave me the courage to try it myself. Worked perfectly. I will say this- the drill bit you're using is quite a bit smaller than the one I used, but it did pop out clean, and without any damage to the unit. Much appreciated!

      Awesome! Sometimes, it doesn't go this smoothly. Sometimes, I have to gradually use bigger and bigger bits until I break the metal band behind the wall. It takes a little longer, but the method works if you have patience.

    Just buy a pick! They’re easy, quick and cheap. Then you can have a key cut from the picks impression measurement

      @RichardHoward238  7 лет назад

      Bruce McKeever I started with a 1/16 and a 5/64, but used bigger bits until the lock is penetrated.

      Same. I even slowly moved up in drill bit sizes, all the way through the lock. Think I just have bad luck heh

    • @RichardHoward238
      @RichardHoward238  8 лет назад

      +JEBB wilson ... It was either a 1/16 or a 5/64. I start with a small one, and then gradually use bigger bits until you drill through the metal band behind the lock. (Unless you use titanium bits or metal-cutting bits, the small bits will break if you put too much pressure on it to start with.)
