i have just purchased 13 variouse fruit machines off ebay, the problem is most off them still have 1 lock on them, but didnt come with keys. can i get new keys from somewhere, or is there a certain way to get the locks off with out causing damage?

I think all the locks are the same, in repect to the make of the machine, if not the locks bein the same as each other. Theres no other way to open one, but to use a key really, other thank breakin through the wood/plastic/glass lol

they're not expensive, but check first

Drill them out and buy some new ones off ebay - they are only cheap.. Just get a drill and drill through them. I would check with Bazpeeb or Lincs first though (or one of the other engineers) as they know best.

What machines did you get mate?

you need to drill out the centre of the lock.

use a small drill bit first and then use a larger one and eventually you will drill the piece that holds the locks closed.

i can supply as many locks as you need for around £2.00 each plus postage.

Are the locks 'barrel' locks like those in the previous pic?
If not then they might be fitted with a '250' lock, the standard lock's that most manu's fit.
BTW 'barrel' locks can be a pain to drill, make sure you got plenty of drill bits!
