Our Team

Automotive Keys Group was built on a simple but powerful idea: that the locksmith professionals who keep America moving deserve a single, trusted source for the keys, remotes, and hardware they depend on every day.

The company's roots run deep across the automotive locksmith and hardware distribution industry. It began with the consolidation of several well-established, independently operated businesses — each with their own loyal customer base, specialized expertise, and decades of hard-earned credibility in the trade.

The foundation was laid with the acquisitions of Midwest Keyless, Locksmith Resource, International Key Supply and Yellow Key Supply — each a well-established name in the automotive locksmith industry, and each bringing with them years of earned trust, loyal customers, and a shared reputation for serving professionals at the highest level.

Together, these four companies formed the core of what would become Automotive Keys Group — a unified operation capable of offering unmatched product depth, faster fulfillment, and a more complete solution for automotive and locksmith professionals than any single company could provide on its own.

The group's growth didn't stop there. The later acquisition of UHS Hardware further expanded Automotive Keys Group's reach, adding hardware distribution capabilities that broadened the company's offerings beyond automotive into a wider range of professional trade needs.

Today, Automotive Keys Group carries forward the legacy of every brand that came before it — combining the institutional knowledge, supplier relationships, and customer trust built over years of independent operation into one stronger, more capable organization. The result is a company backed by a combined legacy of experience that is unmatched in the industry. What once were separate voices now speak together, driven by greater resources, deeper inventory, and a shared mission: to be the most reliable partner in the business for locksmiths professionals.
