Glove box lock removal

Has anyone changed out the lock on the glove box. I am changing my whole glove box out for one thats in better shape and would like some more info on how to remove the lock mechanism, Any help would be appreciated.

 

The lock cylinder probably has an extra waffer pin that is not used by the key that retains the lock cylinder in place. It can probably be raked out with some lock picks. I looked at the back side of the glove box door and it doesn’t seem serviceable from the rear. Take it to a competent locksmith if you do not have the picks or the ability to pick it yourself. They should be able to help you swap cylinders.

**edit: didn’t read your whole paragraph about the glove box door being swapped.

 

I see how to get it out thanks for the help

 

i took my glovebox lock out to get it powder coated and this is how i took it out and put it back:
