Wes,
My BJ8's latch--original--works as follows:
- the barrel should be more-or-less even with the face of the body in 'neutral'
position; i.e. it does not pop out
- you push the barrel in about a quarter-inch to retract the 'tongue' and open
the box
- once opened, you can just push the glove box closed (though I prefer to
depress the barrel first to save wear-and-tear on the latch )
- to lock, insert key with barrel in 'neutral' position and turn key one
quarter-turn counterclockwise
HTH,
Bob

Subject: [Healeys] BJ8 Glove box lock operation
Hello Folks,
How is the glove box lock/latch supposed to work?
Does one need to turn the key to open it? Does it snap shut without the key?
My customer has bought a used one that appears to be frozen. When I turn the
key the barrel moves out from the handle.
Many thanks
