Glove box lockset source?
Hello all!
I misplaced the key to the glove box on my SPF and the locksmith has to destroy the cylinder to get it open... Does anyone know where I can get a new cylinder and key? I think it's a Lucas set. TIA |
Ray..I would give Hillbank a call in California...they have all the parts !!

Before you start drilling anything, check the glovebox keys from a few other SPF owners. My fuel cap lock can be opened by a friends cap lock key...
Maybe you'll get lucky too... Blas76o |
JMHO, if your locksmith can't pick a glovebox lock then he/she isn't much of a locksmith. "Destroy the cylinder..." :LOL:

I just told the locksmith to "go home". The nerve...he wanted $125 plus service charge $25 plus parts. Stay away from the listings in the yellow pages that say "24 hour emergency etc etc..." and "A locksmith etc..." There must have been a hundred listings and 4 different people called me back before an actual locksmith called to come to the house. Now I'm worried the guy cased my house @##$!&!
I'll call Hillbank...see what they have. And I found a locksmith in town that says he might be able to pick the lock. Thanks |
Whew!, The local guy not only picked the lock cleanly, he was able to reset the tumblers so I could use the existing ignition key for it as well. All for $40 and a couple of "muscle cars" stories.

Yahtzee! Nice going, Ray. Just remember that 50% of the (pick profession) finished in the bottom half of their respective graduation classes. :LOL:

Are the keys interchangeable between all SPF glove boxes? You should have dropped me an IM (or call). I have an extra glove box cover that I had Carroll sign. It came with keys + the locking mechanism.

Thanks Joe, I'm happy now. Works great with the ignition key, except now, I can't open the box when the engine's running :mad: :D |
