Ignition locks Ignition locks are an anti-theft device to stop thieves from stealing your vehicle. When your keys are inside the cylinder of the ignition lock, it signals to the car's security system that you have your original keys and can start it. The system will keep the vehicle locked until you remove the ignition switch from its lock position with the original keys or replace it with a fresh one.
