Anyone know something of vending machine locks?

You buy a center punch that you use to punch a starter divot in metal to keep your drill bit from walking when you try and drill the hole. An alternative is to use a very small drill bit and very light pressure on the drill to accomplish the same thing and drill a starter hole so the larger bit does not walk.

Ah, gotcha. Thanks! I'll post the results of my efforts soon [8D]

The reason I have so much practice at drilling locks out, is because my routemen were always messing up the lock. We would wind up exchanging a perfectly good machine with another one, most of the time because He pulled the key out of the lock somehow before He got to one of the slots. It would mess up the pins in the lock and my Master key wouldn't fit it. We always used the best bits we could buy to do this, and We never had a problem with it. Bill
