2026 Locksmith Ledger All-Stars
The brand new Locksmith Ledger All-Stars Award is the industry’s only 100% peer-nominated program to recognize the innovative contributions made by individuals in the locksmith industry.
Awards will be given in two categories – one for locksmiths and one for manufacturer and distributor representatives serving the locksmith market. (It takes the place of our Legends of the Lock Industry and Rising Star awards from previous years.) All winners will be featured in our July 2026 magazine and online at www.locksmithledger.com.
Who are we looking for? Someone who devised a smarter way to deploy a solution. Someone who stepped up during a crisis. Someone who pushed a game-changing project over the finish line when it counted most. Someone who rethought a business practice, built something new, or simply refused to accept “that’s how we’ve always done it” as an answer.
Everyone in the locksmith community is invited nominate a fellow employee or a partner with whom they work closely for being innovative. Your nominee can be an employee, colleague, friend, or business partner.
There is no fee to nominate an individual and all eligible winners will be included. Additional, optional value-added upgrades will be available.
Remember, this is an award for individuals, not organizations, and it is not a memorial award or a lifetime achievement award for a retired person. The nominations will be vetted to ensure that the person is an active member of the security industry and is willing for their photo and biographical information to be published. Winners of our past awards programs should only be nominated based on noteworthy accomplishments in the last year.
Nominations will close on tax day, April 15.
