Legends of the Lock Industry: Christopher Clark

Christopher Clark, Allegion (retired)

Clark began his career in the industry in 1975 as an apprentice with a locksmith. While working at another shop in 1984, he saw a want ad for a locksmith at UCLA. He got the job right before the 1984 Olympics and eventually became a superintendent with responsibility for the Lockshop, Fire Extinguisher and Tool Crib departments.

In 1999 he left UCLA to work for Ingersoll-Rand (now Allegion) as an End User sales consultant, focusing on key systems and electronic access control. Clark was also a regular contributor to Locksmith Ledger.
