Specialty Training

MBA offers training programs that address the special needs of government, military, and police organizations. Our basic five day class (DoD Combination Locks) is aimed at technicians who service GSA security containers. We learn to operate, service, trouble-shoot, and repair virtually every type of combination lock you could possibly encounter on a GSA container. Proper drilling and repair techniques are thoroughly explored. We even cover the special combination padlocks and door locks you are likely to come across. The dates that this classes is offered are listed along with our commercial locksmith classes under MBA TRAINING.

We also offer special advanced courses in non-destructive entry for an extremely wide range of locks. These custom programs are available only to recognized police, government, and military organizations. Please contact MBA for details.
