SKP SKUS252L Ignition Lock Cylinder

Ignition Lock Cylinder Overview

The SKP SKUS252L ignition lock cylinder is a direct replacement component for restoring key operation in compatible Toyota and Lexus applications. It is built for vehicles that need a replacement lock cylinder after wear, sticking, or key-related failure.

This part cross-references US252L for the same application.

Detailed Description

The SKUS252L is intended for drivers replacing a worn or damaged ignition lock cylinder in supported Toyota and Lexus vehicles. Use it when the original cylinder no longer turns smoothly, the key action feels inconsistent, or the lock mechanism has become unreliable. Fitment includes Toyota Camry, Toyota Solara, Toyota Avalon, and Lexus ES300 applications, with the ES300 listing limited to vehicles without an anti-theft key. The SKP SKUS252L provides a practical replacement path for ignition service on these platforms.

What It Helps Solve

• Key will not turn smoothly in the ignition.
• Ignition cylinder wear causing inconsistent operation.
• Lock mechanism damage from long-term use.
• Replacement needs after a failed original cylinder.

Installation Notes and Tips

Verify the vehicle year, model, and notes before ordering. The Lexus ES300 application is listed without an anti-theft key, so confirm the existing system matches that requirement. Match the replacement to the original ignition configuration for proper operation.

Quality Assurance

SKP replacement parts are cataloged for direct-fit service applications and are referenced against US252L for the same use case.
