Contact locks and switches

Looking for ignition locks or switches for replacement or repair? In this category you will find our range of aftermarket ignition locks and related switches for various car makes and models. These parts are ideal for car dealerships, key services and specialty garages looking to fit vehicles with a new lock or electric switch module.

What is an ignition switch?

The ignition lock is the mechanical and/or electronic part in which the key is inserted to unlock the car, activate the electronics and provide the start signal. In many vehicles, the ignition lock is linked to an immobilizer and requires a correct combination of key, chip and cylinder.

When to replace?

An ignition lock or ignition switch often needs to be replaced when:

• Keys that are difficult to turn or jam
• Physical damage after an attempted break-in
• Worn internal switch contacts or loose components

What do we supply?

Our ignition locks come standard with matching mechanical keys (without transponder or electronics), unless otherwise specified. Most parts are directly mountable and intended as aftermarket replacements for original parts.

Caution when ordering

Always check that the product matches the original part using the OEM number(s) and product photos. If in doubt, you can always send us a clear picture of the old part via the contact page. We are happy to think along with you.

Installation and support

For installation, we recommend using an experienced mechanic or wrench service. If desired, we can advise on companies that can do the installation or coding for you.
