How to unlock Glovebox?
 
First of all, I have a 1991 RX7. I was using my master Key to locked my glovebox, cause i have important document inside. Once i locked, i am not able to unlocked the glovebox. Does anyone has tips to open it?

depends on how bad you wanna get into it!
The lock is not exactly strong,as the clip on the dash is plastic.

If you wanna hide stuff just pop the screws on a bin and lift.Don't tell anyone I said that!

Just to clarify, you cannot turn the key back to the unlocked position? Or you can turn the key but cannot unlatch? In my 88 certain I can only open the glove boxes from the drivers side by pushing the door to the right while squeezing the latch release.

Not to be a dick,but you are really only locking those things away from YOU.
If someone wants to get in to the glove box a simple screwdriver will bust anything holding it on.It's like a big sign saying that there is something in there!
You can try wedging a screwdriver into the space above the lock and pushing down.(IF you are comfortable with that.)
I spied a Glove box door in the Classifieds with key but you need your Post count raised to reply.
SEE the Rules to raise your post count.It tells you how to do that.
