Jim,
 
The glove box lock is a wafer lock.  Once you get the  cylinder out you can 
just insert the key and file down any of the wafers  that protrude so the 
cylinder can turn inside the case when the key is  inserted.  You don't need 
a locksmith.  The chassis shop manual  tells how to do it pages 0-3, 0-4.  
Good luck.
 
Bob

My '65 Monza sedan has the usual two keys- the hex shaped  door and 
ignition and pear head trunk and glovebox.  Glovebox won't  lock with the key, 
maybe someone changed it at one point.  Tried the  "jiggle key" method to try to 
take it apart but I can't find a key that will  do the trick.  I will 
probably purchase a replacement from the vendor,  but would like to have the 
trunk key match. Does anyone on the list happen  to know why the '66 and up 
locks are different?  Must be a different  design for the trunk lock?Also, has 
anyone paid a locksmith to re-key a  trunk lock to match the new glovebox 
lock?  I'm betting that will cost  me a bit.  Just exploring my options to fix 
it.Jim
