Scenes from Europe’s Largest Locksmith Expo
An access management company secured a new set of supporters after one of its maximum-security key safes proved impenetrable at Europe’s largest locksmith exhibition. The 2025 Master Locksmiths Association (MLA) Expo was Oct. 17-19 in Telford, United Kingdom.
2026 dates and location are April 28-30 in Birmingham, England.
“Seeing so many skilled professionals attempt to breach the ark Tamo at the Expo, with no success, was a fantastic validation of our engineering and our commitment to innovation,” said David Ogden, Founder and Chief Executive of The Key Safe Company.
The ark Tamo features patented, multi-push technology that allows the same button to be used up to four times in one passcode. This enables up to 9.7 million different passcode combinations. An advanced anti-pick mechanism is also included, divorcing the dial from the buttons to prevent known picking techniques. Tamo Pro is the only mechanical key safe in the world to achieve an LPS1175 Issue 8 B1 security rating from the Loss Prevention Certification Board (LPCB).
