The time has come for some new locks on my machines. I was using a lock that the local refurbishing company would sell to me. I liked the fact that they could make a service call for my machines with out me being there. When I found out that he was selling the company and his only employee was becoming disgruntled I realized that this was a bad idea. Since I did that I have added 5 machines that all have factory locks and different keys for each. This is starting to drive me crazy!! I think I need to rekey soon before I get too big and the investment becomes signifigant.
Where do you buy your locks? Are the high security locks worth the money?

I just re-keyed 6 machines - (not a bigtime operator). I used my local locksmith who handles my realestate. I had them keyed alike what a joy and productivity enhancer. I keep a key with me at all time so I can make emergency calls. If you are in the Philly / SJ are let met know and I get you the locksmiths name. You might even to order them over the phone and have them ship them - don't know for sure.

Ive bought off ebay before with a PO box account. One time I found 250 locks all keyed alike and brand new. I have also had mine rekeyed locally before.
