locking glove compartments?

Does anyone make a locking glove compartment or center console for 2001 rangers?

Your glove box should already have a lock on it... Every other car does, including the 4 RBV's I've had (84 Ranger, 94 Exploer, 02 B2300, and my 93 Ranger).

+1, my ranger and escorts do. should lock using your ignition key.

This past week I was sitting in another Ranger and it didnt have a locking glove box, I remember thinking how that was strange.

I wish I could remember whos truck it was, I think it was my boss's '98, I'll take a look tomorrow.

Anyways If your truck dosn't have one just swap one out with a locking one from a truck at the Junk Yard,but then again you would need the key for that.

well where would i find a new one cuz i have no lock on mine and i dont want to go to a junkyard for that type of stuff

if you jot down the vin number from the truck you get the locking box from, the dealer could cut you a key for it. i dont think you can re-key the glove box tumblers...but then again ive never tried. you might be able to key it to fit your current ignition key if having two keys is a problem for you.

i cant think of any way you could convert your current glove box and still have it look halfway decent. id hit the junkyard.

HI!... My 83 Ranger has one but my 07 Ranger doesn't.

My 07 doesn't, but I wish it did.

Every 95+ Ranger dash I have seen does not have a lock on the glove box. Now that I started removing the faceplate from my stereo, I wish I had a lockable box to put it in.

 

[fordboi415]

Yup that's exactly why I want one, my truck got broken into and they stole my stereo and Ipod

 

[99RangerBoss]

neither of mine did either would be nice for the stereo and the stash

Lmc sells a locking glove compartment for the 94 ranger does anyone know if they are interchangable?

 

[Sunk]

If it's the glovebox door, no. They're pretty different.

if your looking for a locking glove box to secure items against theft, forget the idea. glove boxes are extremely easy to break into (plastic doors, plastic latches, plastic hinges). if you locked your truck doors and someone went through the trouble to break a window/jimmy the lock, then they will have no reservation about just ripping the glove box open...leaving you with the same amount of stolen goods and even more repair work to do. locking glove boxes are best used to keep kids out of things you dont want them into or to keep the honest people honest.
