A simple way to sort tubular keys

- Keep the key group clear.
- Match the cover to the right key.

- Keep the key group clear.
- Match the cover to the right key.
- Check the fit before regular use.
What comes in the pair

- Match the cover to the right key.

Black as a color code
Black is a useful choice for a neutral group. You can use it for a machine type, route, storage area, or staff set. Write down your color rules so the same color means the same thing each day.
- Keep the key group clear.
- Match the cover to the right key.
- Check the fit before regular use.
Before you buy

- Match the cover to the right key.
- Check the fit before regular use.
Easy daily identification
Sort keys before leaving for a route. A cover can help you pick out a familiar key without studying every key head. Keep the code simple and avoid mixing two meanings for the same color.
- Keep the key group clear.
- Match the cover to the right key.
- Check the fit before regular use.
For spare key sets
Use a matching black pair when you want two keys in the same group. Keep spare keys in a secure place. Do not rely on cover color alone to control access or protect a machine.
- Keep the key group clear.
- Match the cover to the right key.
- Check the fit before regular use.
A small accessory for vending work
A key cover is a small part of a larger organization plan. It can support a tidy key ring and a repeatable route routine. It does not alter the key cut, lock fit, or access rights.
- Keep the key group clear.
- Match the cover to the right key.
- Check the fit before regular use.
Care and handling
Check the cover for wear during normal key use. Replace any cover that no longer stays in place. Keep key heads clean and avoid forcing a cover onto a key that does not fit.

Why Buy A Refurbished Machine?
Great Returns - Commercial Grade Machines - Affordability
New vs Refurbished
We used to sell new machines as well as reconditioned ones. We no longer sell new, for one main reason.
According to a recent survey of vending operators, about 93 out of 100 potential vending accounts don't generate enough revenue to justify the cost of new equipment. New machines are great if you have high volume accounts, but most people do not have these accounts.
Typical pricing on new "commercial grade" machines:
- Can drink machines: $6,200–$7,400
- Snack machines: $6,600–$8,500
- Cold food machines: $8,900–$11,700
(Priced with mech and validator, typical options, vendor pricing not including sales tax or shipping in some cases.)
As you can see, that's quite high compared to used or refurbished equipment.
Please remember 'anyone and everyone' can call their machines refurbished but what does that really mean? Please see our machine ratings page for what we actually do to our machines. Many of our competitors don't even 'clean or paint the inside' of the machines.
Start small and grow as you can afford it.Many people start in the vending business without much knowledge, and that can hurt them financially if they're not careful.
All of the machines that we sell are full size, commercial machines. There are many machines that are made that are small, countertop or mechanical coin acceptance. These machines are fine if you are a housewife looking to make a little extra money on the side. We used to sell those type of machines and no longer do. The main reason is that people who were serious about vending would out grow these type of machines in several months.
Small mechanical machines have two main problems:
- They don't make change or accept dollar bills
- They "work you to death" — frequent refills for very little payoff
Most hold under 100 products and gross only $40–$50 per full restock, and profit is less than half of that.
A full-size commercial machine, by contrast, usually holds 350 to 600 products and empties out at $250–$500. Since you spend most of your time just driving to the location, you might as well fill 500 products instead of 50.
