Locked out of deceased father's glove box

[lc209]

1991 Pontiac....the car was my dad's who passed away last month. My mother called me today looking for the title & thinking it is in the glove box...which she cannot open. Anyone know how to get it open? Any info is greatly appreciated.

I assume your talking about the ones with the combination locks?
Have you tried 0000?
Sorry bout your dad.

THat lock isn't real strong, a little prying at the latch should pop it without doing any damage. Like Wylie suggested, the default is all zero's, sorry about your loss.

There should be two screws under the glove box - they hold the glove box door hinges to the dash.

This should give enough room to retrieve the papers.
