glove box door lock

My glove box is locked, the lock seems free. Does anybody know if there was a lot of keys or a few different ones?

Don't know about the keys, but if you can get the bolts on the hinges to come loose I think you will be able to get the door open with out damaging the zink lock catch.

what ever you do ...DO NOT apply heat to the lock....it will melt like butter....don't ask me how I know that....

Greg,
If that doesn't work I can loan you a key when you come and get your hood. Also I found another section of hood so you will just be missing the right side vertical section.

HTN, Zink has a very low melting point.

Ever get that sick feeling the second it all goes bad.

OK  I got a key on loan from Clint, it went in and feels like the lock has working tumblers but would not turn. I did not want to put too much pressure on it, I didn't think Clint wanted his key back in Two pieces. The number on this key is C-257 it is a Briggs and Stratton. Does anybody have any other numbers? It might be good to know how many combinations there are, thanks.            Greg

Hi Greg,
The other one I have is C355 and it works. I think i took C257 off a scout car. I know it works and I thought the locks were the same so maybe yours was replaced at some point. We can try this other one next. This other one (C355) was in a restored dash that I bought so I'm not sure it is correct but it looks identical.

The other one I have is C378 on the restored scout car that is leaving here on Saturday. Bye bye miss american pie.
