The solution was to drill out the lock cylinder. The glove box popped open. No damage to door, wood grain or insert. The crazy thing was, the spring inside the lock housing that controls the latch, which holds the tab up to keep it closed was bent upward and wouldn't allow the cylinder to change the position of the tab to allow it to open. Luckily I had a spare glove box door with a lock and was able to replace the lock cylinder and housing. Just don't have a key for it now Thanks for the help!.
