I have this office deli machine and the key to it is lost. I know that on a full size vending machine you can break out the lock with a dent puller and put in a new one. But, this is a different kind of lock how should I go about this: taking out the old lock and where would I get a new lock since the manufacturer has shut down?
Thanks.
If you use a dent puller though, you might separate the T-handle from the threaded stud behind it as they are press-fitted together. You should drill the lock out from the keyway trying not to damage the T-handle itself and then all you need to do is replace the lock cylinder. If you have locks that can be removed with a dent puller then you aren't using good locks.
