Ford OEM Key Suppliers

Hello, all. Does anyone know of any OEM suppliers of transponder keys
(not key fobs) other than Strattec to Ford Motor Co.? The Strattec
80-bit memory keys have an "SA" stamped on the key blade but the two
keys that came with my bought-new 2011 Focus have what appears to be an
inclined letter "H" on the blade. I'm assuming these aren't from
Strattec. Thanks for your time and comment. Sincerely,

Google/whatever,,, OEM Supplier of Transponder Keys ...A side note, today I had a spare key made at Walmart for my 1983 Dodge van. New key had a plastic handle on it. When I got home I had to melt off that plastic, because the ignition switch has a flange and wouldn't let the new key go all the way into the ignition switch.

Thanks, and I'm glad someone finally responded. Did the Google thing
before I posted. I'm not sure what you mean by "handle". But my OP was
about transponder (chip) keys and I'm guessing your 30+ year old vehicle
predates this now-standard anti-theft technology. Sincerely,

Secret switch to make car anti theft Youtube ...I suppose a good auto shop or automotive radio installer shop in your area can do a professional job/install for that, if you don't want to do it yourself. I used to have a 1981 Chevrolet van that I rigged up a secret switch.
