Locksmiths Dictionary

In 1982 the LIST Council’s predecessor released to the industry The Professional Glossary of Terms Relating to Cylinders, Keys and Master Keying. The Associated Locksmiths of America, Inc. was the first to publish and distribute it. The definitions and terminology in the glossary have since been adopted by most of the manufacturers, publications and associations as our industry standard and many manufacturers offer a printed version as part of their factory training. The LIST Council has been asked by ALOA and others to complete what would amount to a Dictionary for Locksmiths. We are nearly finished with that work and are pleased to submit this installment of the remaining terms that have been identified as specific to our industry.
