The key and/or keyway tolerances are off, or it could be the key is not the correct one for the pin-tumbler. Check the key and pin-tumbler numbers for the later issue. Get a newly cut key that matches the pin-tumbler number to fix the tolerance problem. Sorry I don’t have any recommendations for key replacement suppliers but I am sure some knowledgeable member will.

I have a very unusual problem.  I recently acquired a 66 BJ8 and have an issue with the glove box.  The key fits into the lock and turns about 45 degrees but does not lock and the key cannot be removed.

When I remove the lock from the door and assemble it, the key turns 90 degrees, locks and the key can be removed.

I have enclosed a photo of the parts of my lock.  I suspect that I may be missing some parts.

Does anyone have an idea for a fix or a photo of the interior parts of their lock?  

Any help would be greatly appreciated.  

Thanks,

Fred
