Get keys or remove or replace vending lock

ratajoe,
If those locks are the original locks that came with the machine and the manufacturer is still in business you could call them and give them the serial numbers and they might have a record of which keys were furnished with those machines and you can order new copies.
If you are unable to do that the you will need to drill out the locks, sorry :(
I would direct you to this post here that discusses that in detail:

hope this helps,

Identifing your make model

ratajoe,
you have uploaded some nice pics of your validator and coin mech, these items are made by other companies (Coinco in this case) not by the manufacturer of the vending machine. Unfortunately the tag you pictured is an inventory tag put there by whoever owned the machine originally (Coke perhaps?). You said it is a Dixie-Narco. Since you have a Coinco 3000 series coin mech and Coinco BA-30 validator and a 9-pin Jones plug you must have a single price machine. We have a section on this forum dedicated to helping identify makes and models, you just need to measure a few things. Being a single price machine it probably is a 2 can deep machine, but there were a few odd models made 3 cans deep and single price so you should check. To tell number cans deep, you can trying to fit 3 cans in it, if you can't then it's a 2 can deep machine. Make sure the back spacer is all the way back when checking how many cans deep it will hold. You said a Dixie-Narco so if you measure height x width x depth and know the number cans deep it will hold, you should be able to identify which machine you have by going to this post: http://www.vend-resource.com/content/identiyfing-make-and-model-soda-mac...
Keep in mind dimensions are approximate +- 1/2" or so.
hope this helps,
