No key for trunk how can I open it

Post by BobatheFett84 »

Hey all just bought a 62 falcon sedan and it didn't come with a trunk key. or door key. or any keys. But I got the ignition switched out and the doors are on the way. but I am stumped on how to get the trunk open so I can remove the lock. Anyone know an easy solution? I assume I am going to have to crawl thru the back seat but whats next?

Once your in there and get to the lock you'll see a little lever you can push left or right and it will release the lock.
Good luck!

Got in there and got it open thanks for your help. Now I just have to figure out how to get the lock cylinder out of the trunk ornament without damaging it.

Have you ever hunted Indian artifacts in the farm field's? That's a good area for it.

Is there a number on the glove box lock? I do have a set of master keys for Fords. If you knew the number I could copy a key that would work.
