Section 4 – Matters Related to Accountants and Financial Statements

Item 4.01.  Changes in Registrant's Certifying Accountant.

   On February 23, 2010, STRATTEC SECURITY CORPORATION (the "Company") dismissed Grant Thornton LLP as its independent public accountants and appointed Deloitte & Touche LLP as its new independent public accountants.  The decision to dismiss Grant Thornton and to retain Deloitte & Touche was approved by the Company's Audit Committee on February 23, 2010.

Grant Thornton's reports on the Company's consolidated financial statements for each of the fiscal years ended June 28, 2009 and June 29, 2008 did not contain an adverse opinion or disclaimer of opinion, nor were they qualified or modified as to uncertainty, audit scope or accounting principles.

   During the Company's two most recent fiscal years and through February 23, 2010, there were no disagreements with Grant Thornton on any matter of accounting principles or practices, financial statement disclosure, or auditing scope or procedure which, if not resolved to Grant Thornton's satisfaction, would have caused them to make reference to the subject matter in connection with their report on the Company's consolidated financial statements for such years; and there were no reportable events, as listed in Item 304(a)(1)(v) of SEC Regulation S-K.

   The Company has provided Grant Thornton with a copy of the foregoing disclosures and has requested that Grant Thornton review such disclosures and provide a letter addressed to the Securities and Exchange Commission as specified by Item 304(a)(3) of Regulation S-K.  A copy of Grant Thornton's letter to the Securities and Exchange Commission is attached to this report as Exhibit 16.1.

   During the fiscal years ended June 28, 2009 and June 29, 2008, and the subsequent interim period through February 23, 2010, the Company did not consult with Deloitte & Touche regarding any of the matters or events set forth in Item 304(a)(2)(i) and (ii) of Regulation S-K.
