    Default Key for Bellco Automatic

    I have the chance to buy a Bellco Automatic machine, but the seller says the key is missing. I've never owned a machine without the key, so my question is are there easy ways to pop the lock open? Are keys for this model all unique or is it possible for someone to make me a duplicate? Thanks!

    It is generally easy to get into and open a door on a machine from the back or the bottom. Likewise, it's an easy task for you to replace the existing lock once you are inside. In many cases the importer of the machine will have removed the internals of the lock itself making it easy to open with a blank or any key of the same dimensions.

    Should you wish to replace the lock, I have a small collection and have replaced locks for others on the forum.

    Ended up picking it up. Very cool game actually. Was able to get the door open very easily through the bottom, but yeah, still need a new key/replacement lock. Meathead, PM incoming. Thanks!

    I have two Bellcos, Automatic and DigiFlush. Both are the same cabinet and both take the dimple-type keys. The Automatic has the tumblers removed and any key will open it, the DigiFlush requires a specific key.

    I went through my remaining locks and do not have a match. In fact, I realized all of the locks I have left are somewhat useless as I don't have matching keys.

    One option you have, which I performed on one of my pachislos is to remove the locking bar on the cabinet but keep the lock in place. Mount two or three magnets (the type used for keeping cabinet doors closed) to the inside of the cabinet and epoxy the metal plates to the door. It's possible you may need some small "L" brackets. The result will be a door that will remain shut until it is given a good yank. Nobody will know but you.


    The photo of your machine looks as if it also has a dimple lock. Maybe I can send you one of the keys to see if it opens the lock?
