| 597287 | 2007-10-03 00:35:00 | I just bought a new car & the glove box is locked :@ The only key works for the door & ignition but not for the glove box. It could be quite expensive to get someone to remove the door lock to get the code & cut a new key for it, so do any of you Invercargill members know how to pick locks, or have any contacts in Invercargill that can pick locks? |

It could be quite expensive to get someone to remove the door lock to get the code & cut a new key for it, new car? new cars come with all the keys........ Door lock? You mean the glove box lock? Why not try assorted keys.................and Google is good. I found a nifty site a while back that shows you how to make a skeleton key. |

| 597291 | 2007-10-03 03:33:00 | Hi Greven I don't know what you car is, but have you tried ringing the local Brand dealership, when i needed a new key for my car I had to for to GWD Holden in Invers as they were the ones who had access to the key codes for holden (when i needed the code for my Radio i had to contact the original dealership who sold the car originally) The other thing is are you sure your ignition key doesn't work in it, my ignition key only goes half way in the glove compartment lock but it opens fine when i give it a twist |

It is a jap import, so they would have to take the lock out of the door to find the code they need to cut a new key. I just tried being a bit rough with it & it worked - the glove box is now unlocked :). It took a lot of force and probably wasn't good for the lock, but I'm not planning on locking it again. |

| 597295 | 2007-10-04 05:22:00 | You will find it won't open the boot either. The idea is that you have one key that opens everything (but you don't have it) and another key which is for you to give to the garage mechanic when he is servicing the vehicle and he can't get into the boot and glove-box (Provided you disable the internal boot release first by moving the little lever inside the boot lid) |

| 597296 | 2007-10-04 10:09:00 | You wont get a warrant of fitness if the mechanic cant get into the boot, he needs to do a structural check (no rust or cracking) including boot floor/inner guards/suspension mountings/parcel shelf(no non-original holes cut for speakers)/bootlid hinges, hasp and latches etc; mechanics have no interest in the crap you carry around in your car! | feersumendjinn (64) | ||
