Re-keying New Glovebox Lock

[JR_Charger]

I got a new lock, with a new key, which means I've got three keys for the car now instead of two. Not the end of the world, but wouldn't it be better to have one accessory key for doors/trunk/glovebox? Will I end up with another extra key if I replace the door locks? I've re-keyed the ignition cylinder on a truck, it's not impossible to do. How are you guys managing this?

You could have a locksmith key your new lock to your old key.

Going purely from memory here, but I think it'd be much easier to re-key the trunk lock to the new glove box key.

I never lock the glove box. Never did. So, I don't need a key for it.

It's easy enough to be a do-it-yourself job. I've done-it-myself. The lock I keyed came with the extra keys though.

Would have to do the doors too though -surely easier to just do the glovebox?

Unless I replace the door and trunk locks too

Doors and ignition are one key, trunk and glove box are another (round key), also console if optioned.

Agree with above.

Also agree that the GB lock is the most difficult of all to rekey, even worse than the ignition!

Woah. It's been thirty years since I've locked the doors, do the door locks really use the ignition key? I just replaced the ignition and took the old ignition key off the chain. That could have been a hard lesson to learn!

So now I'm carrying four keys around
