Glove Box Door Lock Removal?

Another one that should be simple, but apparently isn't for me. How do you remove the lock from the glove box door? I'm trying to get a dash frame and peripherals ready to send out for blasting - this is the last piece. Thanks.

As I recall, insert the key into the cylinder to retract the tumblers then locate the access hole in the latch, insert something to release the cylinder from the latch.

I was afraid it was similar to an ignition switch removal. I'm going to have to start digging through boxes and see if I kept the trunk lock - I'm thinking this is also where a key might be .................. I hope !!!! Thanks for the information.

You were correct, you muust have the key. I did find one for it. You have to slide each of the keyed tumblers in line with the cylinder as you pull to get it apart (one at a time). Thanks for the help.
