Leaving the default lock on the machine would also mean that someone else who has the same key (combinations are limited) can open their machine. If you have an old key to a similar machine you will often find that key will work for other machines too.Īlthough the owner of the machine can install a more secure lock, most operators use a series of locks with the same key for all of their machines, so they only have to carry one key around.
Many different arcade machines all come with a default lock.
