you can probably find you n abloy for a reasonable price on ebay if its just 1 vending machine...

I have the opposite opinion. Im not as experienced as locksmitharmy either, but I do have a 6 pin m3 mortise cylinder. The m3 i own has 2 ARX pins, 2 mushroom drivers and 4 barrel type drivers. There isnt 1 standard type driver or keypin in the whole lock. I set the rotation which is verified by the slider popping into position, and pick to sheer, everytime like clockwork. The biaxial cam lock i have, the 72s rated 5 pin, I have never been able to pick open. I just cant get a feel for it. It provides me almost zero feedback. I think ill move this query into a new topic if need be.
