i have a laundry matt in my apartment building where there are never any people around. I wanted to get some keys to the machines or pick the machines so i can get the quarters inside. any help would be greatly appreciated thanks guys.

Probably an easy pick job that an inexperienced beginner can pull off as his/her first job -- unless they have the cylinder locks like pop machines have.
Beware of cameras that don't look like a camera.

You can buy cylinder keys for them.

If no one is around then why don't you use brute force?

what would i need to pick the locks, i dont have any picks.

Some ideas here: http://www.totse.com/en/bad_ideas/lo...y/altlock.html

The most simple methods will work on low security locks found on most machines in a laundry. The machines are usually built under the assumption that an attendant will always be there.

google "tubular lock pick" - they had one a dealextreme for way cheap but their shipping is slow as balls.
