Default Changing Glove Box Lock

Have just received a new glove box for my GLT - thanks again Ian. Does anyone know how to exchange the lock barrel from old one to new?

Okay, it was easier than I thought, twist the metal ring and it just drops out.
Now of course I need to find the key.

Try the ignition/door key?
I assume that you no longer have the service key with your car...

The ignition key is too large for the glove box lock, and the only other key is for petrol cap, and that is a locking cap that I have switched from car to car because I have 3 sets of keys to it.
Can you get replacement keys without having the original?

Are you sure??
I have a 240 GLT and my ignition key fits the glove box lock and locks/unlocks it....

A picture might help..
