Newspapers and the like stacked within the dispensing machine may be grasped through the vertical slot in the T-shaped access opening and raised for removal through the horizontal slot in the opening along the axis of the horizontal slot. A pivoting gauge gate mounted to the cover panel above the T-shaped access opening restricts the thickness of newspapers and the like which may be removed through the hozizontal slot. The gauge gate pivots between an open position wherein newspapers and the like can be removed through the horizontal slot and a closed position wherein access through the horizontal slot is substantially restricted. The relative opening of the gauge gate may be selectively adjusted to accommodate newspapers and the like of varying thicknesses. A locking means operably associated with the gauge gate prevents successive withdrawal of newspapers through the horizontal slot. The locking means includes a reset means for resetting the locking means upon closing of the access door.
