[Formerly Steve Wilkinson]

All I know is that my glovebox lock stopped working--jammed in the locked position--and I was able to remove it and took it to the best locksmith in town, who said there didn't exist a lock he couldn't fix or at least pick. (I said I just wanted it returned to a turn-to-open latch function, didn't care whether or not it locked.) A month later, he called, abashed, and said he'd spent hours working on it and had no idea how to open it. I got a used one from Partsheaven--no key, just the lock--for $35.
