A brief history of the
Penn-Ohio Locksmiths' Association:

Paul Kirchbaum, a former Director of ALOA, invited the locksmiths in and around Youngstown, OH to meet with him in his shop to discuss the possibility of forming a local locksmiths association.

Through their efforts preliminary meetings were held that resulted in a meeting being held on September 24, 1964 to officially form the Association. From this meeting was laid the foundation for the locksmiths association to become known as the PENN-OHIO LOCKSMITHS ASSOCIATION, with membership extending across the border of the two states of Ohio and Pennsylvania. Paul Kirchbaum served as POLA's first president."

POLA holds meetings monthly , normally at the Holiday Inn, Belden Village, North Canton, OH on the second Sunday of each month at 1:00 p.m.

For membership information, persons can contact our membership Secretary, Richard Dout, at 1550 Sandy Lane, Sharpsville, PA 16150.
