There is a way... I could never get it to work though. I masked, sanded and painted around mine. Consider this a bump. Somebody that has gotten it to work will post.

hi guys. can you help me ? my glove box chrome knob broke and spins all the way around on glove box door. i never had a key for it. i would like to get it apart so i can replace the lock. is there any way to do it without the key ?? also it wont latch or unlatch since it doesnt actuate the lock.. the knob just spins. any help would be appreciated. thanks guys




This is a piece of cake if you have the key. As far as I am aware if you do not have a key you are out of luck. A locksmith may be your only option to remove the lock. I just took a cutoff wheel to two of these 70 B body locks this weekend for the same reason. If someone knows a trick to get them off without the key I sure would like to know. I have 3 or 4 more that I would love to get apart without destroying the lock.

how about going under the dash and cutting a hole in the cardboard glove box and removing the screws on the lock itself and take it out.

The chrome knobs pops off if you pry it with a screw driver, then I think it can be unscrewed and removed from the door so you can dig into it.

Not possible on the 70 style lock. It will not fit through the hole in the door.

This link is very helpful if you have a key to fit your lock or the non key style lock. However, if you do not have a key to align the lock vertically you can not get to the small tab to depress it. I will try prying the chrome knob off on one I have here.

I did it on mine since one non-usable lock had a perfect chrome cap, the lock I had a key for had one that was all worn. Used a rubber mallet to tap it back on.

Maybe reuse a good glove box door this way, it works on Duster glove box bit I don't know about others. Allows removal of the entire assemble from the door but not disassembly of the lock it self.

is it actually locked?
did you just try any key/flat blade so the outside will turn with the ring to open it?

picking that lock would be fairly simple.
