SPF NO KEYS! glovebox/trunk

[Lowell W]

DON'T DRILL THE LOCKS!!!

When your car was delivered, there was a "vehicle detail sheet" with it which had the lock #'s on it. See whether you can find this sheet or whether the selling dealer has a copy. There will be an ignition key #, a glovebox key# and a trunk/hood key #.

Depending on the age of the car and the amount of slop in the locks, you MAY be able to open the glove box with the ignition key. Don't try to force the key into the lock; you'll be able to tell if the ignition key and glove box lock are compatible. If the key goes in, try gently wiggling it back and forth while you apply gentle turning pressure counterclockwise. If they're close enough, you may get in.

They're simple locks and any locksmith should be able to open them. The dealer in LI should have key blanks (and probably lock sets, too) so with the correct blank and the glovebox or trunk open, a locksmith will be able to make you new keys. Perhaps you'll find a trunk/hood key when you get into the glovebox.

Good luck!
