When you get a locksmith to make a key for your glove box lock, it
doesn't mean it will also fit your trunk lock as well. Because the
trunk lock has more pins in it then the glove box lock does. A key to
the trunk lock should fit the glove box too, originally.
I bought a new matching set off eBay, at Frank Mitchell's. Little more
then $100 I believe. If you have your build card, you can even get
matching numbers NOS!
