How to Choose Oem Lock Cylinders Manufacturer?

Another obvious perk of an OEM is a company's ability to obtain needed parts without having to actually own and operate a whole factory, as well as the reliability and security OEMs offer. This is especially important for locks. Millions of key combinations are possible for each OEM lock, ensuring that important and valuable items stay safe from theft or damage.

OEM locks can be used within offices, at stores or in other public locations where maximum protection is desired. OEM locks are often utilized for displays or showcases of valuable items.

OEM lock manufacturers offer flexibility in design so that the appropriate lock is provided for each application and can meet specific requirements. Zinc plated steel, brass, die-cast alloy, plastic and polyamide are all available OEM lock materials, depending on specific requirements.

In addition to the ones previously mentioned, case locks, console locks, push-button locks, pin-tumbler locks, octagon locks, quarter turn locks, tubular locks, plug locks, portfolio locks, cylinder locks, knob locks, t-bolt locks, spring bolt locks, furniture locks, stud locks, combination and cam locks, miniature and high security locks as well as weather-resistant locks are also types of custom and standard OEM locks available.

Typically, a unique key unlocks OEM locks, although other locking/unlocking options are also commonly used. Common retail applications for OEM locks include jewelry cases, cosmetic cases, cigarette cases, camera cases, watch cabinets, trophy cases, drug cabinets, fine china cabinets, filing cabinets and other enclosures holding and/or displaying expensive commodities, such as electrical appliances and audio-visual equipment. OEM locks also can be used for personal items, such as luggage, motorcycles and firearm enclosures.

OEM (original equipment manufacturer) parts are made by the manufacturer or parent company of a product, in our industry this generally refers to parts made for vehicles. Aftermarket refers to parts that have been made by a third party (someone who has no connection to the main company). [However, often people look for original key blanks for older padlocks, etc.]

Classic car owners know how difficult it can be to get an OEM part for their car. The older the part the harder it can be to find;  whether it is a fender replacement or an original key blank. The newer the vehicle the easier it is to find an OEM part. The market is also inundated with third party parts; which are often advertised as “costing less”. Just because a part is an after-market doesn’t mean that the OEM part isn’t necessarily competitive in price.

Now, I am not saying that all aftermarket products are bad. I am not saying you shouldn’t use them. What I am saying is the newer the car, the more competitive the OEM part will be. The older the car mixed with the harder to find part will make it more expensive.

We prefer to sell OEM parts when available. Whether it is an ignition cylinder or a key blank – when we can get them, we do. We sell Strattec products, who is one of the largest and oldest OEM companies out there.

Remember that contacting the dealer can often be more expensive than going through a locksmith. Often times locksmith’s sell oem products for less than the dealer will sell them to you. Check with your local locksmith first. Price compare – remember to ask questions to include labor costs as well.
