Can someone tell me the type of lock that go on this Puritan

[Daddyfrank7660]

Hi' I'm looking for a lock for this Puritan trade stimulator. Picture below. I know it takes the type that goes on with 4 screws. But all the ones that I can find to purchase on eBay, that look to be the correct ones. Listings always say they are for a mills slot machine. I have asked others that have same machine as mine to send me a picture of there's on the inside. but when they send me a picture of there inside of the back door it's always different from mine. So I don't know if there was many different types put on these same machines or what. Also the hole in my door seens to be a little over sized & a slight oval chapped. I'm new to these machines as I have said in the past. If someone knows about these door lock please let me know. I have not read anywhere that mills had any thing to do with the machine in question.


Thanks
Frank

Your machine appears to be a "Puritan Baby Vendor", of which several manufacturers had a hand in building.
All of the doors were cast aluminum, but all mfrs. did not use the same back door style casting & lock. None
of these doors used a Mills lock, like was used on the Slot Machines. It appears from looking at your door, that
someone has opened the hole larger, for a non-original cabinet lock, or maybe a cam lock, at one time. Is there
a mfr. name within the circle of the top casting? I would also like to see a pix of the front, to see which model
variation you have. I have several different models of this machine, and will check to see which back door has
the same style lock mount that you show, and send you a pix of the lock. I pretty much know which lock it is,
but want to make sure. I have seen these locks on eBay, but not that often.

Hi' Mr. Slot Dynasty

Thanks for responding once again to my needed help. Here are the picture below I think you wanted to look at, you said picture of circle. I was not sure if you meant the Buckley circle on back. Let me know if you need more for verifying. By the way I found a P & a 5 stamped in the inside of back door. Does that mean anything.

By the way this is the one I need a payout card for. But you said you needed to make some. Just let me know. I just got the last machine I purchased delivered to me. So I will be sending that list to you very soon. To see what all you may have to sale me of the list. Would you rather me send the list, when I have it ready to your personal email or just send it to you on the forum.

Sincerely
Frank

Hi Frank:
I got your PM, and did see these additional door pix yesterday. I checked the machines in the shop, and did not
find one as yet with this exact door. Will have to check the warehouse next. Buckley used two different style
doors on this machine. The other style used a cam-lock. I did find one door with the style lock that you need,
but it was a 2 hole mount, not a 4 hole. There is going to be an additional problem with your door. If you want
it to look completely original, you are going to have to get that hole filled, (that someone drilled oversized),
and re-drill to the correct size, for the new lock. I will go over this more, later with you. I will answer your PM
with my direct e-mail address, so that you can do you ordering through there, as I do not put up orders via this
Forum. It could get lost in the shuffle, like some of my PM's do.

Here it is for you to look at. It only locks, not the door. But it looks
like what I need. But I've never delt with a lock like this. Other than my
slot machines. But they are not the same size just look the Sam.

Al:
You have my catalog, and have ordered from me before.
If you lost it, I will send another. All of the mailing instructions are on it.
Was going to call you, but it got too late. Will try again.

Frank:
This is not the lock you need. The barrel is too large.
The hole in your door has to be filled & re-drilled.

Hi bill'. I understand what you are telling me. I thought the hole in door looked a little big (round) but was not sure. And the question is why would someone make it so be? But I guess we will never know. My issue with repairing it like you said. We'll do you mind giving me a call when you have a chance to talk a minute.
