Glove Box Replacement, is this lock unique?

Alrashwa · 04-13-2015, 06:53 PM

I'm thinking of replacing the lid/door on the glove box, as mine was damaged during moving. I know the glove box uses the physical key to lock for valet security etc. Is this lock unique to my key, or would any Z key open it?

If it is unique, is there a way to keep the tumbler and pop it into the new door?

They normally are keyed to your key, and yes you should be able to swap the lock, but I've never really looked...
