Here is a decal we created in Photoshop to replicate the original Mills Owl used on their slot machine stands. Over the years these keys tend to get lost and modern replacement locks end up getting installed. The slot came with the original double sided key, somewhat of a rare occurrence. As long as your machine is not mounted on the wall, you don’t need a key because you have access to the back of the machine. The pachinko parlor attendants would walk up to the machine and use a key to open the machine to access the back. What is the lock for anyway? When these machines were in Japan, they were mounted in a wall.

We have heard over the years a few people were successful getting a key made. We have been to many locksmiths and even some national distributors to see if we could have keys made for these vintage locks and the answer was unfortunately no. Why can’t I get a key? Pachinko machines were exported from Japan without the keys because those keys could be used to open pachinko machines still being used in the pachinko parlors.Ĭan I have a key made? Not likely. You can’t get keys for pachinko machines.
