History
The Security Hardware Distributors Association (SHDA) was established in 1970, then as the National Locksmith Suppliers Association. Although the name may have changed to reflect changes in the industry, its purpose remains the same: engaging with locksmiths and the security industry to bring better, more innovative products to customers.
SHDA distributors bring tremendous value to their customers. With access to thousands of products and armed with dedicated and experienced service professionals, SHDA distributors serve as a one-stop source for technical solutions and ongoing support.
