Anybody here know how to get through this lock on my building's cable box?
Our cable box out back used to not be locked, free cable was nice 
But someday my cable stopped working, and I go to the box to see that it has a lock on it now. Here's a pic of it:
It's just a cylinder with a hole on the end, and if you look closely you can see a hole in the side of it too. I've never encountered a lock like this before. Does anybody know what kind of tool I could use to take it off or unlock it?

Take a flat head sweardriver thats alittle bigger then the hole. Nail it in the hole with a hammer. Then get something you are grip the screwdrivers with and turn

The ones in Phx aren't the same but similar. I use to do Telephony while I was in school and we used this screwdriver looking thing that would put pressure on both sides of the lock allowing it to be unscrewed. You can't just buy the tool tho.
