No Key

[jwwgold]

Is there anyway to open a machine or re-key it if it's locked and the key is missing?

Thanks

If it isn't in a cabinet you can open it easily from the back. There are 2 hooks that you can manually push down and those are usually connected to a
central lever which moves both at the same time.
You generally have to open the whole front door to access the front door for the cell.
You can buy a new key on eBay or you can dissasemble the lock and then any key will open it.
Instructions are available on PachiTalk.

If you want a US locksmith to do it prepare to spend hundreds of dollars.
Easier to buy a $10 key on ebay or take apart the lock.

This should help.

Thanks guys. I found that information once I posted... of course. I see from my others that there is the overflow knock out that I could reach inside and open the door, remove the lock , remove the pins and have a free wheeling cylinder.
