If you have not already, please be sure to register for the MLA Expo by visiting our website www.locksmiths.co.uk/expo or search ‘MLA Expo’ on Google. This year we have decided to utilise a new portal for the expo allowing you to manage your visit all in one place. This also means if you are registered to attend you will be notified first about things such as the release of tickets for the Saturday Night Party and the release of on-site training.
Please note training information will be sent to registrants a week before general release, onsite training courses WILL sell out and are first come; first served.

Possibly one of the most exciting parts of the MLA Expo, the Telford International Centre will see the return of the Saturday Night Party, and this year we are going bigger than ever…
- Live music
- Three-course meal
- Charity raffle
- Awards
- And more,,,
Tickets are now available to purchase online on the MLA Expo website.
Training update
With the opening of training facilities inline with government guidelines and advice we have had an extremely busy few months here at the Master Locksmiths Association HQ, we also saw the launch of our new Advanced Curtain Lever Opening Course ran by Paul Horton and Shane Hales which was a great success. As we continue to develop our current and forthcoming courses, we would like to share some of the feedback received over the past few months.
Level 2 Opening
“Thank you very much. I got a lot out of it and a lot to take away and practice ready for the exam.”
High Security Cylinders
“Very knowledgeable and approachable – I really enjoyed the course.”
Advanced Curtain Lever Opening
All attendees were provided with several statements upon completion of the course to with they can strongly disagree, disagree, neither agree or disagree, agree, or strongly agree with the statement.
Attendees “strongly agreed” with the following:
- The course content matched your expectations, and you feel comfortable putting the knowledge gained into practice.
- The amount of content covered during the course was just right.
- You would recommend the course to another colleague/locksmith/tradesmen.
Further comments also included:
“A well thought out course presented by two highly experienced and great ‘real world’ locksmiths. Very challenging and rewarding experience.”
