I am working on installing a lock with a secret button to unlock my glove box. Aligning the latch with the lock has been a challenge and now my factory latch does not catch at all-I think the screws hit something (cable) inside (?).

I saw this and wondered if it might fit my 2020 Si Sedan (?)--It appears about the right size and shape....Not that I want to spent $300+ on it when I have $20 in parts I can do it with and without needing a key.

Does that glove box fit a Civic?
I don't know. It is supposed to be for 2013-2017 Accord 4dr LX & Sport. I was hoping someone on this forum might know. It looks about the right size and shape, but that price!!!

Just my 2 cents: CHH is big on cross-referencing parts that will fit other models. If it did fit; it seems like they'd have picked up on this by now.

Also... don't our glove boxes just pull off the pivot point at the bottom? I get wanting a lock and everything. But it hardly seems secure.

You may be able to disable the factory release and run a steel cable linkage from the mechanism to another (hidden) area underneath. Or maybe a super strong magnet could be used to release the thing manually. Just thinking out loud.

Good luck with it however you decide to go.
