The MLAA has approximately 1,000 members providing a wide range of locksmithing and security services throughout Australia, New Zealand, the Pacific region and South East Asia.


In addition to business and individuals engaged in locksmithing activities, our membership also includes manufacturers and distributors of security products, students and others engaged in relevant areas of the security industry.
