Coming Attractions

Just a quick heads-up to our readers that we are compiling information for Know Your Distributors 2017, which will be published in our April issue. This large special section lists all the security hardware distributors serving the locksmith market, with details on their locations, product lines and policies. The April issue will also include interviews with some key distributors and the always-popular and thought-provoking SHDA Report from IDN’s Arnie Goldman. In May, the editors of Locksmith Ledger will be presenting our 2017 Automotive Supplement.

Full manufacturer and distributor listings can also be found in our Online Buyers Guide at www.locksmithledger.com/directory and are updated throughout the year.

However, this is just a starting point. We ask our readers to suggest topics of interest, and we will get to work researching those topics for additional articles. As always, please email your ideas to [email protected]
