This guide outlines how to adjust locks when physically damaged or misaligned

  1. Identify the Locking Issue

    • Confirm that the door lock is not engaging correctly.

  2. Remove Screws

    • Unscrew the four screws around the lock area as shown in the video.

  3. Open the Door

    • With screws removed, open the vending machine door.

  4. Engage the Lock with the Door Open

    • While the door is open, insert the key into the lock and lock it (turn as if locking with door shut).

  5. Position Your Hand

    • Place your finger on the lock mechanism to hold it steady.

  6. Adjust the Lock Mechanism

    • Insert the key and turn it 1/8 turn clockwise.

    • At the same time, pull and push on the lock to adjust its alignment.

  7. Align the Lock Properly

    • Ensure the lock mechanism moves forward (toward the front of the machine).

    • The key should move away from you as the lock aligns.

  8. Test the Lock

    • Close the door and test if the lock now aligns properly.

    • Reinsert screws once alignment is successful.
