[Healeys] BJ8 Glove box lock operation

[Richard Dryman]

Reminds me of something: in 39 years of owning a BJ8 I have never seen another hood latch located where I have mine. It goes thru a hole at the bottom back of the glovebox and lies flat on the bottom of the glovebox. Seemed like it needed to be 'under-lock-and-key', so now it is when the glovebox is locked. This is very simple, list.

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
