Glove Box Lock Repair and Replacement
Keeping Your Car’s Storage Secure
Your glove box often holds essential items—vehicle documents, insurance papers, small electronics, or personal belongings. When the lock on your glove box starts sticking or fails entirely, it can be both an inconvenience and a security risk. Beveridge Locksmiths offers professional glove box lock repair and replacement throughout Wellington, ensuring easy and secure access to your car’s interior storage.
Common Glove Box Lock Issues We Solve
- Broken or Worn-Out Lock Mechanisms
- Over time, metal components can corrode or snap, leading to a lock that won’t turn or latch.
- Jammed or Stuck Locks
- Debris, bent keys, or misaligned latch parts can leave your glove box firmly shut—or stubbornly open.
- Lost or Broken Keys
- If you’ve misplaced the glove box key or it’s broken inside the cylinder, our specialised extraction tools and rekeying options get you back on track.
- Malfunctioning Electronic Locks
- Some modern or higher-end vehicles have electronic locking glove boxes; wiring or actuator faults can disable their functionality.
