Help Me

Post by Travis65Comet »

I purchased my car almost a year ago and still havent been able to open the glove box. My keys dont work. I would like to open it without damging the lock if possible. How do I go about doing this. There could be something good in there!!!!

Try any old ford keys you have and you may find one that when wiggled in place may do it. there are only 3 tumblers used in the glove box lock so not difficult to pick.

the box is just cardboard, cut a flap in the bottom and release it from inside ( they make repops of them)
I'd rather do it myself if it's done right or not,,,isn't that what hotrodding is all about

If you really need to get in,the box is only thin cardboard,I would sacrifice that before I screwed up the lock and or door!!You minght try a REAL locksmith,not some guy that yesterday repaired tires or something!!! I had a tailgate lock that would not work with ANY of my keys,locksmith had it fixed in about 15 minutes!! ROY.
