    So I want to check the connections behind the back box for the pinball I just got. The guy who sold it to me said he couldn't find the key. I was thinking I could unscrew the two screws holding the lock in place, but I don't know what kind of bit that is. I've tried star tips, Allen's, every different tip I could find and I don't have it, whatever it is. I'm afraid to try a flat head and a hammer because of the proximity of the glass obviously, and if I have to drill I will, but figured I'd ask for some help in here first.

    Thanks guys. I may see if Home Depot has the bit. There is a decent amount of play in the glass. If I decide to drill it, since the lock is holding the back glass in place, once the lock is drilled through, will it still be intact enough to hold that glass in place still?

    Anyone know which size torx bit for these screws? (T- whatever number) I had a few strips of bits from various tool kits laying around and tried every one I had but nothing fit.

    Once I found the right bit (my screws weren't T-20 bit they were T-15) the plate and lock came right out without any hassle whatsoever
