The United States has one of the largest markets for auto parts. Ignition switches and car door locks in the same situation.
Everyone is looking to get into their market, but only good quality is acceptable.
With some research, I made the top 6 ignition switches and ignition lock cylinder USA suppliers list. Based on what I compiled, every company on it has an excellent reputation in USA aftermarket.
PS: The following does not include well-known USA auto parts suppliers such as AutoZone, NAPA, Advance Auto, O’Reilly, and Rock Auto. Because they are involved in almost all auto parts categories, I list manufacturers focused on ignition switches and locksets.
SMP(Standard Motor Products)
Standard Motor Products, Inc. (SMP), founded in 1919, is a leading independent manufacturer, distributor, and marketer of motor vehicle replacement parts for the automotive aftermarket industry, with sales worldwide. They specialize in manufacturing and distributing a full line of critical components for motor vehicles’ ignition, electrical, emissions, fuel, and safety-related systems. It has created several private brands, notably Standard ®, Intermotor ®, and LockSmart ®, heavily involved in Ignition Switch and Ignition lock cylinders.
LockSmart®
Specialize in aftermarket lock brands such as car door lockset and ignition lock cylinders. And can provide OE number and compatible model, available on almost all models. You probably see it on Amazon a lot.
Standard® and Intermotor®
They provide the Ignition Switches and Lock Assemblies of superior quality. All Ignition Switches, Lock Cylinders, and Assemblies perfectly match the original. In addition, they are made of high-quality materials for the cylinder and key to ensure excellent quality.
STRATTEC SECURITY CORPORATION
Established in 1995 and located in Milwaukee, Wisconsin, one of the most significant automotive locks and keys producers. Before that, Strattec belonged to Briggs & Stratton.
Briggs & Stratton was established in 1908 and began researching the manufacture of lock cylinders in the 1910s. High-quality die-cast and Locks utilize side mill technology, etc., to ensure quality excellence, such as preventing accidental rotation and providing additional security. They have also worked with several automotive OEMs in the United States and have expanded their business globally, supplying to over 65 countries.
Strattec and SMP have been working on ignition switches and locks for a long time. I think their quality feels no less than the original parts.
ASP
ASP is more focused on collecting and trading ignition lock cylinders and car door locks. He has almost 3000 kinds of lock cylinders, including cars of various national brands. Even you can find some lock cylinders that only sell one or two sets a year there.
If you can’t find certain lock cylinders or are unsure about the model, I think it would be a good choice to ask ASP.
Lockcraft
Lockcraft is a brand of CUMSA Corporation. They have been manufacturing automotive ignition switches and lock cylinders for over 25 years. If you require lock cylinders or related electrical products for these models, I think you should consult them first for faster and more detailed information.
UHS HARDWARE
UHS Hardware is a locksmith supplier in Miami. They are both wholesalers and retailers but tend to be more of a retailer and have their online store, offering not only lock cylinders for cars but also a variety of common door locks and smart locks. If you need it
urgently, you can buy it directly from their online store.
They also purchase from foreign countries such as China to supplement their assortment and inventory.
SMP, Strattec, ASP, and Lockcraft brand cylinders are also available in their stores. Also, these brands are active on powerful lock cylinders retail platforms such as www.Keyless.com and www.internationalkeysupply.com.
