It just, well, stopped working. I'm currently planning on getting the key copied and trying that...if that doesn't work is there any other option for me?

Drill it. Those locks are cheap and easy to replace.

A handheld drill with a reasonbly sized drill bit would be fine, though make sure you get one that can drill metal. You can get replacement locks online or at a local hardware store or big orange behemoth.

Nice, sounds good, lemme see what happens when I get the key copied and then I will give it a shot.
Ummm, btw, what's "Big Orange Behemoth"?

"Big Orange Behemoth"
Heehee!
Personally, I miss the Big Green Behemoth. Too bad Big Orange drove them away.

I assume since you have the key for the coin door that you can also open the back of the machine. Just reach through with a long extension and a ratchet and remove the nut from the coin door lock if you are able to get to it. That will let you take the little piece of metal that flips over to catch behind the edge off. Sometimes the layout of the machine doesn't allow it tho. Run to a home improvement center (your choice) and buy a cabinet lock to replace it.

Otherwise known as "Deep Homo".
At least that's what everyone calls it around here. LOL

Deep Homo...that's pretty good. Ditto for Big Orange Behemoth. I always thought of it as "Home Despot" myself.
