1937 Dictator glove box lock

[Stude7]

Anybody know where to drill the access hole for removing the lock cylinder from the glove box knob. It's from my '37 Dictator.

I don't, but I did that with my 37 President trunk lock.   I do not remember where I found the corrrect location but it must be available somewhere.  

I must have used a 1/16 drill bit.

Follow up.   I just did a search and found the thread where I learned how to do it.   This might give  you some leads.  Click on the "7 replies" to see it all.

Thanks for the information, I'm going to try it on the glove box lock. 21/32 from the face, drill a small hole. I have an old key collection and found one that will turn the lock cylinder if I wiggle it just right.

1937 Dictator glove box lock update. I drilled a 1/16" hole 21/32 from the face of the lock cylinder. Pushed the spring-loaded tab that was showing and pushed out the cylinder. Thank you everyone.
