As an MLA Member and company-approved locksmith service, we are now part of the UK’s elite group of certified professionals. This approval is particularly important in the absence of government licensing for locksmiths, as it ensures quality and reliability.
But what does this mean for you, our valued customers? Let’s explore how this milestone benefits residential and commercial clients alike.
What is the Master Locksmiths Association (MLA)?
The Master Locksmiths Association (MLA) is the UK’s leading trade association for locksmiths. Established in 1958, this not-for-profit organisation represents over 1,400 locksmiths and security professionals and ensures they adhere to the highest standards of quality and integrity.
Key Roles of the MLA:
- Certification Program: The MLA certifies locksmiths who meet stringent training and assessment criteria, guaranteeing their expertise.
- Referral Program: Customers can use the MLA’s referral service to find certified locksmiths.
- Industry Representation: The association advocates for locksmiths and promotes best practices across the security industry.
- Licensing scheme: The Master Locksmiths Association successfully changed the UK law on vetting locksmiths in 2009.
