How Do You Operate Vending Machines?
I bought a vending machine, and I can’t even open the freakin doors. I have this card, now it has 254 uses. I know there are different types of vending machines, so i’ll explain mine.
The top vends snacks, 3 rows of 6.
The bottom vends refrigerated drinks, 4 columns that each hold 24 cans, 96 in total.
I know how to set the prices and the other functions, but I can’t get the doors to open. Help?

Using a search engine like YAHOO!® Search or Google®, Search on the manufacturer. Perhaps they have an owner’s guide available on line or through other means. I presume you posess any required keys or combinations, correct?

Sounds like what is generally called a “combo” vending machine. It should have an inner cylinder lock (i.e. a lock that is circular looking). If you don’t have the key or can’t get it from the person you bought it from, then you will have to drill it out yourself or have a locksmith drill it out. Then contact your local vending supply dealer or one of the national vending supply outfits like D&S Vending or Vendors Exchange and order your own lock. Its very easy to insert. Good luck
