Title: coin door locks
Post by: randywhatson on July 27, 2015, 01:18:52 pm
where do you guys buy new coin door locks.

I was playing Tapper last night and the joystick broke. It won't go "up."

In 2 years, this is the first time my Tapper has needed anything (got it off Ritchie Knucklez).

Only problem, I don't have the key to the locks, so I'll have to drill them out.

I was thinking of getting the locks that work off one single key. John mentioned them is a video, but I can't remember which one.

Any help would be appreciated.

You may be able to take the lock apart from the inside. Unplug the game, open the back up. Look for the coin door locks. You can use a flat head or Phillips screwdriver to remove the screw that holds the lock Paddle/arm(???) in place. Once you have the door open. The barrel that remains will be easy to get right out.

I also order locks from Twisted Quarter.

I get mine from Twisted Quarter as well. I prefer the keyless coin door locks for my home stuff.  Specifically, these are the ones I have ordered:  http://www.twistedquarter.com/index.php?main_page=product_info&cPath=155_352&products_id=1710&zenid=ckk3gihra353qs8m6jr2kijgm2

I use the same lock with the same key number on all my games. I like the Illinois Double Bitted locks because they are sexy. :)
