Exhibit 10.9

RESTRICTED STOCK GRANT AGREEMENT

THIS RESTRICTED STOCK GRANT AGREEMENT is dated as of             (the “Grant
Date”) between STRATTEC SECURITY CORPORATION, a Wisconsin corporation (the
“Company”), and             (“Recipient”).

RECITALS

A. The Company has adopted the STRATTEC SECURITY CORPORATION Stock Incentive
Plan, as most recently amended and restated as of August 20, 2012 (the “Plan”),
to provide eligible participants with the opportunity to obtain a proprietary
interest, or otherwise increase their proprietary interest, in the Company.
Capitalized terms not defined herein shall have the meanings assigned such terms
in the Plan.

B. In Connection with Recipient’s provision of services to and for the benefit
of the Company, the Company has agreed to issue certain shares of its common
stock, par value $0.01 per share (the “Common Stock”), to Recipient pursuant to
the terms and conditions of the Plan.

C. As a condition to the issuance of the Common Stock to Recipient, the Company
and Recipient desire to impose certain restrictions on the shares of Common
Stock granted pursuant to the terms of this Agreement.

AGREEMENTS

In consideration of the recitals and the mutual agreements which follow, the
Company and the Recipient agree as follows:

1. Grant of Restricted Shares. The Company hereby grants and issues
            shares of the Common Stock (the “Restricted Shares”) to Recipient,
in accordance with this Agreement and the Plan. Promptly following the execution
and delivery of this Agreement by Recipient, the Company shall cause a
certificate for the Restricted Shares to be delivered to Recipient containing
the legend set forth in Section 7 below.

2. Vesting and Forfeiture of Restricted Shares.

(a) General Vesting. Subject to the forfeiture provisions of section 2(b) and
the accelerated vesting provisions of section 2(c), all of the Restricted Shares
shall vest on the earlier of Recipient’s voluntary retirement as a Service
Provider to the Company or the third anniversary date of the Grant Date

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

(as such date may be modified by application of section 2(c), the “Vesting
Date”). All Restricted Shares which shall have vested are referred to herein as
“Vested Shares.” All Restricted Shares which are not vested are referred to
herein as “Unvested Shares.” Upon vesting, the Restricted Shares shall no longer
be subject to forfeiture pursuant to section 2(b) of this Agreement.

(b) Forfeiture Rights. The Unvested Shares shall immediately be forfeited to the
Company if, prior to the Vesting Date, the Recipient’s status as a Service
Provider to the Company has terminated, other than in connection with his or her
voluntary retirement or as described in section 2(c)(ii) below. Upon any
forfeiture of the Restricted Shares pursuant to this section 2(b), Recipient
shall have no rights as a holder of such Restricted Shares and such Restricted
Shares shall be deemed transferred to the Company, and the Company shall be
deemed the owner and holder of such shares.

(c) Special Vesting.

(i) Change in Control. All Restricted Shares not otherwise vested shall
automatically and immediately vest immediately prior to the effective date of a
Change in Control. Immediately following a Change in Control, this Agreement
shall terminate and cease to be outstanding, unless assumed by the successor
entity (or parent thereof) in connection with the Change in Control.

(ii) Termination as a Result of Death or Disability. Notwithstanding anything
herein to the contrary, if Recipient’s status as a Service Provider to the
Company terminates (i) as a result of Recipient’s death or (ii) because
Recipient suffers a Disability, then in each such case the Restricted Shares
shall be deemed fully vested and shall become Vested Shares.

(iii) Preservation of Rights. This Agreement shall not in any way affect the
right of the Company to adjust, reclassify, reorganize or otherwise change its
capital or business structure or to merge, consolidate, dissolve, liquidate or
sell or transfer all or any part of its business or assets.

3. Shareholder Rights. Regardless of whether the Restricted Shares are
considered Unvested Shares under the terms of this Agreement, Recipient shall
have all the rights of a shareholder (including voting and dividend rights) with
respect to the Restricted Shares.

4. Restrictions on Transfer. Recipient shall not sell, assign, transfer, pledge,
encumber or dispose of all or any of his or her Restricted Shares, either
voluntarily or by operation of law, at any time prior to the Vesting Date. Any

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

attempted transfer of any Restricted Shares in violation of this Section 4 shall
be invalid and of no effect.

5. Taxes.

(a) The Company’s obligation to deliver the Restricted Shares to Recipient shall
be subject to the satisfaction, if applicable, of all applicable federal, state
and local income and employment tax withholding requirements (“Withholding
Taxes”). Recipient has reviewed with Recipient’s own tax advisors the federal,
state and local tax consequences of this investment and the transactions
contemplated by this Agreement. Recipient is relying solely on such advisors and
not on any statements or representations of the Company or any of its agents.
Recipient understands that Recipient (and not the Company) shall be responsible
for Recipient’s own tax liability that may arise as a result of the transactions
contemplated by this Agreement.

(b) RECIPIENT ACKNOWLEDGES THAT HE OR SHE HAS BEEN INFORMED THAT RECIPIENT MUST
DECIDE WHETHER OR NOT TO MAKE AN ELECTION UNDER SECTION 83(b) OF THE INTERNAL
REVENUE CODE OF 1986, AS AMENDED, WITH RESPECT TO THE RESTRICTED SHARES AND THAT
RECIPIENT IS SOLELY RESPONSIBLE FOR MAKING OR NOT MAKING A TIMELY SECTION 83(b)
ELECTION (AND OBTAINING TAX ADVICE CONCERNING WHETHER AND HOW TO MAKE SUCH
ELECTION). Recipient hereby agrees to deliver to the Company a signed copy of
any document he or she may execute and file with the Internal Revenue Service
evidencing a section 83(b) Election, and to deliver such copy to the Company
prior to, or promptly upon, such filing, accompanied by a cash payment in the
amount the Company anticipates is required to fulfill the Withholding Taxes.

(c) Recipient agrees to promptly make a cash payment to the Company of any
Withholding Taxes, if applicable, to the Company when due. Recipient further
agrees, if applicable, that the Company may withhold from Recipient’s wages or
other remuneration the appropriate amount of Withholding Taxes (to the extent
not covered by Recipient’s cash payment to the Company). Recipient further
agrees that, if the Company does not withhold an amount from Recipient’s wages
or other remuneration sufficient to satisfy the withholding obligation of the
Company, Recipient will make reimbursement on demand, in cash, for the amount
underwithheld.

6. Adjustments for Stock Splits, Stock Dividends, Etc. If from time to time
during the term of this Agreement there is any stock split-up, stock dividend,
stock distribution or other reclassification of the Common Stock, any and all
new,

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

substituted or additional securities to which Recipient is entitled by reason of
his or her ownership of the Restricted Shares shall be immediately subject to
the forfeiture and other provisions of this Agreement in the same manner and to
the same extent as the Restricted Shares. If the Restricted Shares are converted
into or exchanged for, or shareholders of the Company receive by reason of any
distribution in total or partial liquidation, securities of another corporation,
or other property (including cash), pursuant to any merger of the Company or
acquisition of its assets, then the rights of the Company under this Agreement
shall inure to the benefit of the Company’s successor and this Agreement shall
apply to the securities or other property received upon such conversion,
exchange or distribution in the same manner and to the same extent as the
Restricted Shares.

7. Legends. The share certificate evidencing the Restricted Shares issued
hereunder shall be endorsed with the following legend (in addition to any legend
required under applicable federal or state securities laws) and the Company may
issue stop-transfer instructions with its transfer agent in connection with such
legend:

“THE TRANSFERABILITY OF THIS CERTIFICATE AND THE SHARES OF STOCK REPRESENTED
HEREBY ARE SUBJECT TO THE TERMS AND CONDITIONS (INCLUDING FORFEITURE) OF THE
STRATTEC SECURITY CORPORATION STOCK INCENTIVE PLAN. COPIES OF SUCH PLAN AND
AGREEMENT ARE ON FILE AT THE OFFICES OF STRATTEC SECURITY CORPORATION, 3333 WEST
GOOD HOPE ROAD, GLENDALE, WISCONSIN 53209-2043.”

The legend set forth above shall be removed from the certificates evidencing the
Restricted Shares upon the Vesting Date unless such Restricted Shares have been
forfeited prior to the Vesting Date pursuant to Section 2 above.

8. Miscellaneous.

(a) Severability; Binding Effect; Successors and Assigns. The invalidity or
unenforceability of any provision of this Agreement shall not affect the
validity or enforceability of any other provision of this Agreement, and each
other provision of this Agreement shall be severable and enforceable to the
extent permitted by law. The provisions of this Agreement shall inure to the
benefit of, and be binding upon, the Company and its successors and assigns and
Recipient and his or her legal representatives, heirs, legatees, distributes,
assigns and transferees.
