To pre-answer one question:  no, I didn't get any operator keys for
 the boxes. Are they difficult / expensive to find?  If so, I'll go
 back on thursday and dig thru the storage bins I found the
 machines in and look for a key...

 Hi
  Take the lock to a locksmith. You might be surprised.
 I've not seen the one used on your unit but the local
 fellow here does them for $15 first key. 
 
 Locksmiths will NOT carry Medco (or medco-compatible) key blanks,
 unless they're doing something unethical.  Medco is a high security
 lock manufacturer that doesn't sell blanks for their locks to 'just
 any locksmith'.
  
True, but a locksmith could help by removing all the pins from the
cylinder, so that any key, or a screwdriver, or what-not, could switch
the modes on the system.
My RS/6000 box has a lock that was 'sprung' in such a fashion, by the
previous owner.
