1938 Super Eight 2-4 coupe storage bin lock

Trying to remove lock from bin lid behind the front seat. No pin holes found. Locksmith said it might be pressed on. Retaining nut has been loosened but can't be removed so lock will not pass through hole in lid due to lock construction. Lock needs to be separated from pull grip/keyway. Don't want to destroy lock or lid. Entire lock set needs to be removed for new fabric. Any help greatly appreciated.

Plenty of Packard owners in Ohio, and there were only 250 different key numbers. Many Packard owners have more than one, or have had in the past, and thus may have quite a key collection. Borrowing and trying keys from local Packard folk would have a decent chance of getting a key that matches the lock.

PS - by calling it a "bin", I assume you refer to the golf club compartment.

Thanks for the reply. The "bin" lock is not the golf bag door lock but is in the lid to a storage bin behind the front seats and in front of the rear window of the 2+2 coupe. We have not located any release hole or other means to separate the lock, which needs to be removed to complete inside restoration. The retaining nut has been loosened but cannot be removed as it is blocked by the locks latch. The nut could be cut and the lock probably could be worked out with out separating but then reinstalling is another problem.
