Actually operators rarely replaced the cabinet locks - however they DID 
put in their own cashbox locks though - for security. Your cabinet key 
is likely to be a C256 or an A440. Rowe/AMI used the same cabinet key 
for years, made it much simpler for jukebox operators to open the 
machines without having a huge number of keys. Your route serviceman did 
not need the cashbox key to fix or replace the records - yet could 
record the coin meter, and the person responsible for the cash could 
only get the cash, without being able to get at the meter.
