About the case you talked that you lost the original key.

How difficult/expensive to change the lock? Trying to make the key from the lock sounds more expensive but I am clueless.

Cost me $48 and change with tax... So more, yes but not too terrible.

Oh, I just noticed that you actually asked how much to change the lock...

They quoted me $35 to drill out the one I lost the key for and replace it with a new one and the corresponding key... I could have done that myself for significantly less by just ordering a replacement lock and key from Amazon, but...

I wanted a duplicate of the original because I do actually have several of these particular type machines that are intentionally keyed the same.
