I have a couple of IVS vacuums that I bought in 2001. They are just regular rounds vacs, not combos. We lost a set of keys and can't find a spare for the coin meter door. This is the door you open to access the coin acceptor, not the money box. I'm thinking it may be a pretty much standard lock/key for those vacs and was wondering if someone may have a spare key. It's just a cheapy lock that turns 90 degrees to lock/unlock. For some reason, I think it had a number like AO1 on it, or something similar. Can anyone help me before I have to grind them out?

Could it have been AH1? Had one a couple years ago. Will look for it tomorrow.

If the lock is old enough it'll probably open with a paperclip. I bought a bunch from RALock on clearance for $3 each and replaced them.

AH01 is probably it. I think I will call IVS first, because I would like to verify that's the right one, and also buy more than one. If I strike out there I'll be contacting you Ghetto.
