As written on www.ilanational.org

Why the Institutional Locksmiths' Association?

Institutional locksmiths found themselves with problems but nowhere
to turn for help. We needed a forum to be able to discuss problems which occur in the institutional environment, such as:

* Help with key control and master keying issues
* Help with technical information
* Help locating parts, supplies, key codes, etc.
* Help communicating internal needs to their institution.
