Hello! For some context, I practice lock picking and lockport just as a hobby and will be shadowing for a locksmith in my town soon. Anyways, I have a vending machine at my work that I noticed has a specific kind of lock on it that doesn't seem to be mechanically activated. I asked my boss about it since it belongs to the company and he says it has a programmed key that you have to put up to/into it for it to then accept the key, then you turn it and it opens the handle for you to open the machine. One of the ones I've found it may be is a Medeco XT type of locks, where the key is programmed to only work on certain machines. What I'm hoping to figure out is if there is a way to get through it without the key? I tried the lock picking subs but they were just being A-holes since I broke their rule about asking a lock already in use that again, is at my work. In those subs are people claiming to know how to open it without a key, but nobody would elaborate. I'd appreciate any help you guys could give me and I ask you please be nicer to me than they were for just being curious. Thank you!
