If someone who isn’t me wanted to open the little service panel on the top of a coin operated laundry machine similar to the pic, how would they determine the right key, and where would they buy it?

What would they find inside the panel, and how does it work?

    Note that the rubber band versions tend to work better than the “lock it in place” ones. (Source: I have both)

    I’m assuming you own these machines and are forced to pick them open because you lost the key - if so, absolutely get yourself a tubular lock and a cheap bike lock to practice on before going to the coin op. Tubular locks are easier to pick than some padlocks, but they take practice to know how much force to use.
