FS: Locking Glove Box Latches - 1st Gen

I have 3 glove box latches that work with 1st Gen Tacomas. 2 have locks and 1 came off my truck, with no lock.

The locking latches are off of 96-02 4Runners and are the correct ones that will work for our trucks, according to the mod link on TTORA. These need to be brought to a locksmith so they can rekey it to work with your ignition key or to have them create a separate key for it.

I went with a different key from the ignition so that service techs and valet wouldn't have access to snoop around in my glove box. Cost me about $15 at my local locksmith

PRICE:
- Brown, WITH Lock --------> SOLD (0 available)
- Brown, WITHOUT Lock --------> FREE + Shipping (1 available) - FIRST COME FIRST SERVE; ALSO IN THE FREE STUFF THREAD

LOCKING LATCHES - (1) SOLD, (1) LEFT

 

BUMP!!!!

1 locking latch left

The latch with no lock will eventually be posted in the FREE, PAY IT FORWARD thread

 

Hmm....

 

pm'd...

 

both locking latches have been SOLD

 

I would have bought that locking latch.. Darn.

Didn't realize that would be a cheap mod I could do. Thanks for posting the ttora link!

 

Yea man it's great with a little more security inside the cab for little things. Keep checking ebay as some pop up here and there. There actually is one for about $25 and is claimed to be off of a 97 4Runner, but the pictures show it looks slightly different (the backside of the latch) than the ones I have pictured above. Not sure though.

Best of luck with the search. I'm actually a member on T4R as well and scored em both there from guys parting out. Got em to share the love to a few members here on TW

 

Anyone know the part number on these guys? Locking

 

Interested too. I'm sure I could try my local LKQ & check out some 3rd gen T4R's. Depending on the price of a new one.

Take a look on ebay. There are several that will run you less than $20 for ones with locks.

This is the only one available. But it's textured. And my glove box & latch are smooth. All the rest of the latches available are oak, brown or dark grey. Unless the picture makes it look more textured that it really is.

 

Yup got mine on eBay for 10 bucks

 

I have 3 of these as well after reading about this on TTORA. I never found the right color grey to match my charcoal grey interior after buying them off ebay. It is impossible to go off a picture to find the correct shade so I gave up.

 

Thankfully mine is coming with a key and I dont care about the color as my truck doesn't look pretty anyways lol

 

Just wondering as I would like to match my gray interior, how many different grays are there for our first gens? I have a 2003 and assumed they the same, gray or tan. Can you send some pics to see if any match mine? I could take one off your hands since you have 3.

 

I have an 04 DC. Definitely looking for a locking latch handle. But that grey is tricky. Here is what my interior looks like if anyone has one they want to sell. PayPal ready! I thought I had more pictures of my interior, but I guess not. As you can see the grey is not dark at all.

 

As far as I know first gens (01-04) came with just one grey color interior or one tan color. Not multiple shades of grey or tan. I have grey interior and when they run my vin# it says charcoal grey. The latches are in storage, but I am going by there tomorrow and can take some pictures for you.

 

I have the same color interior. I will take a picture tomorrow with the latch up against an interior piece for comparison.
