Re: [Chrysler300] Trunk and Glove Box Locks on a C

[lettercars@xxxxxxx]

Gosh, Ray, I think I must respectfully disagree with you on the three key  
theory.  Just checked my 300H.  Its glove box key fits the deck lock  as 
well.  Interestingly, the same 300H trunk key I've used all these  years fits 
the 300F deck lock too!   Anyway, more to the point, the  front cover of the 
1957 Chrysler Owner's Manual shows a gentleman's hand  dropping TWO keys 
into a lady's gloved hand.  Inside, under "facts about  keys and locks" it 
states: "The key with the medallion head is for door locks  and ignition, the 
one with the round head is for glove and luggage compartment  locks".
And no, my 300H glove box/trunk key does not fit the 300F glove box  two!  
I think it is just a matter of the things wearing out over the many  years 
of use, and being replaced with whatever was most easily---and least  
expensively, available.
300ly, Gil C.

Most  cars had a separate lock for the Glovebox for security reasons. 
A parking  attendant couldn't open the Glovebox with the Ign.  key and if 
he had a  need for the  trunk key, he still wouldn't have access to the  
Glovebox.
I think this was across all makes back in the  day...

I have non-matching locks on my C glove box versus my trunk  lock. In other 
words I have a key to fit my glove box, but it won't turn the  tumbler in 
my trunk lock. I called someone who is parting a '57 Windsor to see  about 
buying his set, but he found that the trunk and glove box locks are  different 
from each other on that car as well. Is this typical of all '57s or  are 
they supposed to be keyed the same?
