On my DK Jr. cabinet, the back lock was drilled out by the previous owner, and the lone key I found in the cabinet doesn't seem to work in the coin door.  So I'm guess I'm drilling the other one out and starting over from scratch.

So.... on classic Nintendo cabinets, are the locks 5/8" or 7/8"?  Are the locks the same size, or different sizes between the two locations?

Is there a replacement that's "nicer" than others?

Thanks again, guys!

I've read on KLOV that the locks are 5/8" on the back door and 7/8" on the door.  But that guy seemed like he didn't know for sure, and no one else posted in the thread :\

On John's DK restore, he ordered the following for his coin door... and the key is the same type as the one I found floating around inside my cabinet (after the original owner drilled the back lock out).
