  Just a thought...

Two cents worth isn't what it used to be  Seriously though, I've had a lot of luck with titanium drill bits for the side lock and the front cashbox cover was pretty easy after that

worth a try, we bought some gum machines once for a rack of 3 we paid 30 bucks for one of the lockrd ones had 55 bucks in in  we sold them for 45 bucks each so that was a good deal

Two of the payphones I've purchased were locked including the coin box and the housing, I rigged the housing to unlock/lock with a blade screwdriver.

I drilled out the coin box (WARNING! Eye Protection!!!) and rigged it so a blade screwdriver could "lock" the coin box, just enough to keep it on the payphone,

You can check ebay and see if you can find a coin door w/lock and key and you could sell them for home use or even business/shop use.

Do you know off hand what model phones you purchased? Western Electric, Protel, etc.?
