FJ60 Glove Box Latch (1 Viewer)

[60series777]

Anyone know where I can source a glove box latch for my 1985 FJ60? The little locking mechanism on mine no longer holds when I shut the door and turn the knob, so the glove box door no longer stays shut. I'd like to avoid buying a new door if possible, mine is in good shape and it feels like a waste of parts to have an extra one sitting around.

I have a few NOS OEM glove box locking twist knob kits …,

These will simply update any FJ60 non-locking early type into the modern age of special Niche features that were over looked on 8/80-9/87 FJ60LG-KA / KK ….

Each glove box lock comes with 2 all metal top factory keys and the all important little chrome key code tag !!!

- sorry , these are assembled in a press fit way that prevents my to be able to re-key / re-code them as I do on ALL other 60
, 61 and 62 lock cylinders …


This is a killer kool new update and thing !!!

@ToyotaMatt

I'm confused by your post ... So you CAN or CANNOT rekey this glove box latch thing?

watching...I have to manually turn mine when I shut it. Honestly locking it is not that important, but it could be keyed that would be cool.

i am glad you are not the only guy constantly confused by @ToyotaMatt post. they never make sense. i mean never. id love to see him participate in a business writing workshop. lol

this is coming from a Dyslexic person too.

I think having a locking glove box is a false sense of security considering how flimsy the door is and the sheet metal that the screws are tapped into.

Consider this: a thief breaks a window to steal and finds the glove box locked. Thief assumes something valuable is inside and rips it open damaging the door and dash.

while this is true and I too have been stuck in endless texts back and forth where I have to constantly restate and post pics...he does put out some pretty cool s*** and seems to know his stuff. Part him and part maybe not having a staff to help him keep track of s***. It is one of my fav aftermarket sites to shuffle through on my hunt for my next project.

Wow thanks guys for all of the kind offers. Think I'm gonna go OEM with no lock seeing as there's never anything of value in there and my truck already has too many keys (ignition, door lock, roof rack, steering wheel club)

@John Staton, I just found and ordered the $20 glove box on your site. Feel free to ship only the lock/latch mechanism (both sides) if you want to save the door.

Shoot sorry, I tagged the wrong user. I purchased it from @CruiserTrash , cruisertrashparts.com. He had a gray fj60 glove box door with the latch for $20. Cheaper than anything else I could find.

Thanks! I’ll hopefully be able to get that out by Friday. Used parts are at my shop 20 minutes from my house, and having a full time job, kids, etc, I don’t make it over there every day. I’ll let you know when it’s on the way.

No worries, thanks for making it available!

perhaps you should read things twice ?

then you would understand what the word prevents means .....

it usually refers to can't or no

Got around to swapping out the glove box latch from @CruiserTrash today, thank you sir!

If anyone needs a gray glove box door with a semi-functional latch, let me know. I cleaned it up and it is in pretty good shape (aside from the latch), and I don’t have a need for it.
