Re: Pringle machine Key wanted
Assuming it is the original locks on it the key will be one of 9.
Keys are Lowe & Fletcher serial nos.280001 to 280009.
You can get them from Fastkeys.co.uk
If the machine has a serial no. somewhere they might be able to tell you the exact key number.They are good like that.
When I had some of these 280009 was the most common one.

Re: Pringle machine Key wanted
Phil is almost correct, they are L&F 9 pin radial tumbler locks
The keys I have range from 280001 up to 280014 but I know popping tins sold 39 of these franchise packages and each one had a different key so it is a pretty safe assumption that it was 280001 - 280039.
easeist way is to just get two people to pull like hell on the door, one top, one bottom to bend the locking tongue . Once the door pops open you can unbolt the lock and either rekey it or I can supply a new lock and key for £15 including delivery.
How much did you pay for it then Pete???

I've just canabalised two machines, got enough spares to keep 4 other machines going. got £15 for the scrap metal. Good machines if you've got the spares to keep em going.

£50 is a really good price, has he got anymore, i would yank his arm off at those prices!
I have plenty of spares as I bought out 5 franchisees over the last few years!
Cheapest I ever got them was £35 each but you should of seen the state of them.
stored/ abandoned in a garage where the flat roof had caved in, tops had no paint, just rust.
Got half of them working and repainted the cases, the others were stripped of all parts and cabinets were weighed in for scrap.
Have a MOUNTAIN of spares so you know who to pm now!
Cheers
Nigel
