Glove box 1933 Essex

tigermoth

Hello, I purchased a car that has a locked glove box and neither key the previous owner supplied seems to work.

any suggestions would be well received.

For example, when working as an aircraft mechanic decades ago, had a tool box key that would open and start all airplanes from a specific aircraft manufacturer.

something like that.

regards, Tom

Turns out the lock was not latched.. just the door did not “pop” when the button was pushed and I did not want to pry it open. I finally figured it out opened the door, removed the lock. In :30 min and $40 dollars I had a key that would work.

the glove box door in the car is beautifully done faux burled walnut, but it is just 2 pieces of sheet metal with a seamed edge all around. Not sure how the door was from the factory.
