I just took out the lock from my glove box door and all of the tumblers fell out. Is there any way to figure out which order they go back in? If I cant figure it out, I'll just put the lock back together and never be able to lock it. Thanks for your help

You can bring the key and the tumbler to a lock smith, they should be able to reassemble it so it will work again.

Put the discs back into the tumbler any order, then put your key in the tumbler youll know you've got it right when all the discs line up flush with the outside of the tumbler once they're in the right order stake the side of the tumbler so the discs cant fall back out. Make sure the little spring are still under the discs.
