Glove box door lock?

I bought a metal glove box door from Vic in Van Nuys. Anyone know where I can get a new lock or button for it? I searched here, Mac's and Dennis Carpenter and didn't find one. Thanks.

Ebay: glove box lock & key set

Remember you'll have to get a bezel for it in addition to the lock. I can't remember right off where I got one. I'll look this evening and post if no one else does before that.

When I looked on ebay there were a couple bezels, I wonder if either of these would work? Otherwise if you have a source for new that would be great.

I would almost want one with just a push button without a key.  I wonder if something like this would work?

Those bezels look like the right kind. The push button one with the bezel you posted is a nice set. I put a hole new door/hinges/lock/bezel/latch on mine because it didn't have anything and I didn't like having the hole only there.
Not having a lock wouldn't be so bad. I don't really know why I wanted it except to keep people out when I take it to car shows, but no one really messes with your vehicle then anyway.

Here's a picture of mine (from page 9 of my thread) with the latch and side wire before paint.

Uante, did you remember where you found the replacement bezel?

I'm not sure. All I could find was that I bought a glove box lock with keys on eBay in 2014. Not sure if the bezel was with it or not...the picture and listing don't show anymore. I didn't find one on Carpenters or Macs. I'm pretty sure it was a new reproduction though, just can't place where I got it.

No Problem, let me know if it comes to you. Did you make the catch cable or does someone sell that?

Thanks,

Hey Jerry,

I looked through all my saved links and I can't find either the bezel or cable. I thought Carpenter's or Mac's had them, but looks like the have Mustang and Bronco ones and not sure if they will work.

Thanks for checking!

By the way I ended up taking a chance and buying this push button and bezel, was worth it for only 11 bucks.  Turned out it works perfect.  So heads up to anyone in the same boat, looks like 60-63 Falcon push button is the same.

Uante, any chance you can upload a picture with your door closed.  I installed mine over the weekend but it doesn't open nearly as far as yours, just curious where the hinge brackets bolt to the dash on yours.  I will upload some pictures of mine soon.  The way mine installed doesn't even seem like it would require the cable, it just stops on its own.

A couple more pictures of the door installed and the lock mechanism and bezel. I really like the clean look of the push button and god only knows I dont need another key for this van.....what year did they figure out you didnt need a different key for every lock on the car. lol

FYI, the keyed lock is a push button to. So long as it isn't locked you don't need the key

The cable is sold on ebay and you could probably go to a locksmith and have the glovebox door button rekeyed to match your ignition. It's pretty cheap to do

Yeah that's an idea, I think I got lucky and like the push button without the key hole. I'll stick with this low cost option.
