Glove Box locked

My key will no longer unlock my glove box. It just turns and turns wherever I try unlocking it. Anyone else had this proplem? Solutions?

A crowbar.

(Hint: wrap it in tape so you don't scuff the plastic)

Can you see a part of the cylinder that should not be turning? If so hold it with a sharp pointed object and then turn the key.
If the worst comes to the worst you could use crazy glue and try to lock the cylinder body in position.

BREAKDOWN? You might want to change your username - seems like you are asking for bad Karma.

Nothing wrong with being humble (it's why I wear a dunce cap), but I would not PREDICT bad things for myself.
