Getting into a locked game with no keys

Steps

  • Start with the coin door lock.
  • Drill a small hole straight into the centre of the key slot; the lock often falls apart, or a screwdriver in the hole will turn the cam.
  • Look inside the coin door for a key hook and on the cabinet floor for the back-door or backbox keys.
  • Fit new locks so children cannot get into the live wiring.
