Master Locksmiths Association (MLA)

Master Locksmiths Association (MLA) is the largest trade association for the locksmithing industry. A truly not-for-profit organisation promoting the skill and integrity of its approximately 1,400 members. The MLA was established over 50 years ago to set and promote standards of conduct, practice and materials within locksmithing. Recognised as the authoritative body for locksmithing by the police, home office, British Standards Institute (BSI), The Risk Insight, Strategy and Control Authority -RISCAuthority (formally IPCRes) and others, the MLA also has a subsidiary company, Sold Secure, which performs certification of security products via manual attack testing. MLA member companies, who undergo strict vetting (including criminal record checks, regular inspections to ensure quality etc), are able to provide advice based on knowledge and experience, recommend products that are fit for purpose as well as provide professional installation and maintenance services. The MLA also provides training from its purpose built training facility based at the company headquarters in Rugby.
