[For The Kids Vending]

This may be a dumb question but the first bulk vending machine I bought they didn't have the key. So I don't know the regular way to open one of these machines. So - how do you normally open it? Do you turn the key a quarter turn then it all lifts off, or do you twist the lid like a screw? I don't want to do any more damage while I try to figure it out.

I don't know what brand it is - it is two separate heads made out of plastic. The lock is destroyed enough that I can see the center section which I tried to twist to the right a bit but I don't know how far or what to do now.

Thanks

Since it is 2 individual heads, the lock is probably a screw lock.
Keep drilling out the cylinder with larger drill bits to widen the hole. After each pass, try turning the inside of the cylinder counter clockwise. Eventually it will give.
