Our History

California Institute of Locksmithing started its first class in 1972. The Institute has been in continuous operation since that time. California Institute of Locksmithing has the goal to train entry-level locksmiths in the highest standards of the industry. Craftsmanship, ethics and professionalism along with a clear understanding of the job’s responsibilities are the techniques taught by the administration and faculty.

Our founder, who felt that a school was needed, that would teach locksmithing as a primary course, fulfilled his dream when the doors opened in 1972. As of June 28, 1999, the school is owned by Friedman College d.b.a. California Institute of Locksmithing. Friedman College d.b.a. California Institute of Locksmithing wishes to continue the fine education that has been a tradition over the many years of operation.
