Detailed Product Overview

The Standard Ignition US-225L ignition lock cylinder is engineered for dependable operation in primary ignition service. Its construction uses solid brass tumblers, chrome plated brass keys, and a die-cast zinc lock core to support consistent key engagement and smooth cylinder movement. This part number, US-225L, is a practical replacement for technicians servicing older GM steering column ignition systems.

Compatible With 1991-1994 Chevrolet Cavalier, column; 1992-1993 Buick Skylark, column; 1992-1993 Oldsmobile Achieva, column; and 1992-1993 Pontiac Grand Am, column. This part cross-references 4H1020 and CS506L for the same application. The US-225L is also a fitment-focused option for Chevrolet Cavalier ignition lock cylinder replacement and Buick Skylark ignition lock cylinder service where the original unit has failed.

Common Problems This Part Can Address

  • Key will not turn or turns inconsistently in the ignition
  • Worn internal tumblers causing poor key engagement
  • Sticking or binding ignition cylinder operation
  • Failed original lock core in a column-mounted ignition system
  • Need for a coded replacement ignition lock cylinder with keys

Installation Notes and Tips

Instructions are included for installation guidance. Verify the vehicle’s ignition system and column configuration before replacement, and compare the existing lock cylinder style to the new part number US-225L. Because this is a coded ignition lock cylinder, keying and vehicle application should be confirmed during service to ensure proper operation after installation.
