    Working on a couple of Bally's and the Backbox lock is about a 1/2 inch or so longer than the standard coin door lock. Been looking for these for a while. (See picture) Anyone have a source for these?

    7/8" locks may work. Most pinball suppliers carry them.

    I recently replaced the drilled one on my Star Trek. Got a 1-1/8 from Pinball Resource which was close but no cigar. So I visited a locksmith shop who had a 1-1/8 that worked much better oddly enough. He said the next size he had was 1-3/8 if I needed it. So you might try local.
