Abstract
A glove box assembly includes a door, a lock mechanism and a lock release mechanism. The lock mechanism includes a first striker and a second striker carried on the door. The lock mechanism also includes a first latch rod, a second latch rod and a biasing element for biasing the first latch rod and the second latch rod into engagement with the first striker and the second striker. The first latch rod, the second latch rod and the biasing element are located external to the door in order to reduce the size of the door and thereby increase the storage volume of the glove box assembly.
