The ILA acts as a liaison between Institutional Locksmiths and Mainstream Locksmiths through cooperative efforts with Industry Associations, as well as helping our members to better assist external providers to do their work more professionally. We welcome those mainstream Locksmiths who have a strong interest in the care and handling of an Institution’s security hardware related needs. The ILA offers low cost training on Institutional hardware at their National Education Conference. Additionally, our members represent thousands of doors, giving us a strong voice in the industry, which can benefit all Locksmiths.
