- userbinator 4y agoIt means if someone breaks into the car they can’t get into the glove box. If the attacker already broke into the car, I doubt the glovebox is going to put up much of a fight. Also, I'm pretty sure the glovebox itself has a lock in a lot of cars.
- guestbest 4y agoNot mine. It’s a buick
- jonwest 4y agoYou know that most gloveboxes are already lockable weirdly a touch screen, yeah?
- speedgoose 4y agoWith a key? It’s not very convenient.
- devmor 4y agoMuch more so than a touchscreen.
- speedgoose 4y agoI don’t think so.
- tempestn 4y agoNo, they lock automatically when the car does.
- speedgoose 4y agoI see, it’s not too stupid. Probably more expensive.
- midasuni 4y agoWord “most” doing a lot of heavy lifting. I drove a lot of different types of hire car, and I’ve never seen an option to lock or unlock the glovebox, nor had a situation where it’s been locked.

- devmor 4y agoWhat a fantasy scenario. In what world can someone force their way into to your locked car but can't force their way into the glove box?
- herewulf 4y agoMost glove boxes don't have large panes of glass? The sound of a broken window to get in will also motivate a thief to not stick around messing with a glovebox very long. Maybe leave something worth running off with in the center console as a deflection.

- izacus 4y agoThis is a seriously marginal bizarre contriviance of a scenario to piss off people daily who use the glove box. For your benefit, you'd need to have a thief that somehow can break class (which is suprisingly hard to do if you ever tried it) and then can't defeat a simple latch on a glovebox where they now for sure valuables lie? Get out of here.
- kennend3 4y agoYou seem unaware that a car's glovebox door is made out of plastic and usually has just a single "hook" style latch? Thief's who break windows to get into cars carry tools.. your glovebox is NOT secure. Lastly, you seem unaware that most car thief's don't break the windows because this often leads to their capture.
- kQq9oHeAz6wLLS 4y agoI locked the glove box on my old Honda once. All it got me was a new dash, since the thief took a screwdriver and pried it open, destroying a lot more than if I'd just left it unlocked. Thieves will find a way.
- imtringued 4y agoI had a lock on the glove box on a used car. The lock was broken and it was difficult to open it so I never even bothered to use it. This has always led to awkward moments at borders.
- tempestn 4y agoI hate it in my Tesla. You can have the glove box lock with the car while still giving it a physical handle.
