This is an ongoing battle. And I don't have any answers. We can replace the boxes, but we can't really do much about making them better. We could spend millions trying to make a better box, but right now they cost around $25 to $30 a box and still the owners cry at the horrendous expense. If we were able to make something better, and those boxes cost twice as much, we could never sell them. If #*##*##*##*##*##*##*# did it, everyone would buy ESD and Greenwald cause they were cheaper. If one of them did it, we would be doing handsprings because we know that everyone would buy ours because they were cheaper.
Look at how many cars are ripped off each year. So now the upscale car manufacturers are putting in digital keying, Extra keys can cost $350 or mor each, that for ONE key!! The owners are really getting upset over the cost. You have to go to a dealer to get the key. A locksmith can't do most of them. Who is at fault? THe owner? The manufacturer for trying to make a more secure product? The dealer because he has to cover his cost for the expensive Hi tech keys?
I have touched on this elsewhere, but it still comes down to the operator/owner making sure his shop is secure. We can only do so much from our end. ANd if someone comes in with powertools, and big prybars, the most expensive locks in the world wont' stop them!!
As I was typing this I got a call. Someone took a prybar to his machines so he was looking for a better lock, I pointed out the if the lock had stood up better, they would have wrecked the whole machine with bar, and the damage would have been much greater.
You tell me, what can we do that is affordable, and acceptable, and that would stop an attack with tools like those above or the caller with the prybar?

Coin operated washing machines or tumble dryers can be used in both commercial settings, such as launderettes, but also for landlords and HMOs, where control of excessive energy usage may be desirable. Furthermore there are many campsites that like to provide washing machines to enhance their guest experience.

By providing a coin or card operated washing machine and/or tumble dryer the misuse of water and electricity can be prevented, encouraging a reduction in carbon footprint. Furthermore it can help to recoup the cost of providing the laundry service whereby only those clients that make use of the washer or dryer pay. Many HMO landlords find providing a coin operated or card operated timer to control both washing machines and tumble dryers helps to reduce arguments between tenants, where often one tenant will be accused of hogging the use of the appliances.

  1. After 75+ hours of research & testing, we’re comfortable recommending the Maytag MLG22PDAWW as the best coin operated washer & dryer for landlords & commercial laundromats currently on the market (as of summer 2019) due to its’ long-term durability (built to handle 15,000+ cycles), energy efficiency and cost value.
  2. In an ideal world, the stuck coin may fall out of the chute by just pressing the coin return button but you’re reading this so we guess that didn’t work. Use tweezers to reach into the coin slot. See if you can grasp the coin and pull it out. Chances are someone has already slapped the side of the machine where the coin slot is located.
