The Kenny Lee Award was established to honor Kenny for his lifetime of dedication to providing education to his fellow Locksmiths, specifically, his expertise in safe and vault lock manipulation and visualizing what was taking place inside whatever they were working on. Much of his efforts during a time when sharing information was frowned upon. Those honored since have been selected because they provided extraordinary service to our Association and Locksmith Industry.
