Founding
The Locksmiths Association of San Antonio (LASA) is a Texas Non-Profit Corporation which began in 1961 with six locksmiths who joined together to establish a San Antonio and surrounding area locksmith trade organization to advance the common interest of locksmiths. It continues to be our desire to set a high standard of quality in the locksmithing profession by increasing the knowledge, experience, and skill of its members through CEU Classes, Clinics, discussions, a newsletter, and a general exchange among members. Education within and without continues to be a primary purpose of this organization.

Education
Education within and without is a primary purpose of the Locksmiths Association of San Antonio (LASA). CEU Classes (or education for ‘pocket card’ renewal by the State of Texas) must be done through an accredited, by the State of Texas, school. LASA’s CEU School will certify the classes, maintain your records, and issue the required CEU certificate. We also offer short Clinics which are not designed to meet state standards but provide helpful information throughout the year. ( see CEU’s & Clinics)
