Mick Friend

We have received the sad news that Mick has lost his battle with cancer. He passed, peacefully, and surrounded by family.

As many will know, Mick was a co-founder of Locks and Security News, Locks & Security Magazine, and of course Lock Expo, the annual locksmith show, as well as its spin off auto version.

He will be sorely missed by an industry he loved, and made his own.

RIP Mick.
