The lock is an Abloy and only the owner of the machine has a reason to
get into the coin box.

And the people on this newsgroup wonder why the professionals here are
skeptical of the posters.

Sounds like an Abloy lock.
If you owned the machine you'd know this.

Abloy is a high security lock that uses a half moon keyway. If you
are not a locksmith I suggest you call one who is registered with
Abloy.

If you are a locksmith here is the address for Abloy Canada Inc.

ABLOY CANADA INC.
7321 VICTORIA PARK, UNIT 5
MARKHAM, ON L3R 2Z8

What a silly concept! Most people I've met outside the trade don't
know the brands of locks on their own front doors, never mind on other
pieces of equipment they've bought. How would someone buying, say, a
second-hand washing machine without a key know what had been written
on the missing key?

Besides, the original poster indicated that he had come upon the lock
and that he did not know how to deal with it, a comment that could as
easily be made by a locksmith who specialized in other areas as by
someone who knew nothing of the trade.
