Welcome to this edition of The Locksmith Magazine. It’s an exciting time for our industry, with so much happening across the UK locksmithing and security sector. From the countdown to the Locksmith Awards at Doncaster Racecourse to the anticipation building for MLA Expo 2025 in Telford, our calendar is packed with opportunities to celebrate excellence, discover innovation, and strengthen professional connections. In this issue, you’ll find updates on the final chance to vote in the Locksmith Awards, insights into training and skills development, and the latest product launches driving progress in hardware and security solutions. We also shine a light on inspiring individuals, such as those shortlisted for industry awards, and businesses making a difference in their communities. But alongside celebration and progress, we also recognise the challenges we face
as a profession. Rogue locksmiths and misleading online advertising continue to undermine trust and put consumers at risk. As you’ll read, the MLA and wider industry remain committed to tackling this head-on, ensuring professionalism, training, and high standards remain at the forefront of what we do. This issue captures that balance - celebrating the achievements of locksmiths across the UK, while also addressing the issues that matter most to our trade. Whether you are attending the Awards, exhibiting at MLA Expo, or simply looking to sharpen your skills with training on your doorstep, I hope this magazine leaves you inspired, informed, and proud to be part of such a resilient and innovative industry. Enjoy the read, and here’s to an exciting season ahead.
