The Master Locksmiths Association has provided a large space, known as the Heritage Room, to the History of Locks Museum for the display of their Heritage Collection. The exhibit itself is permanent but the actual artefacts on display is quite fluid and constantly changing. MLA members of course can look at the exhibit whenever they visit in the course of their skills update or training. Anybody can visit the Heritage Room by appointment.

A small town, situated on the edge of the New Forest and not far from Salisbury, Forbingbridge hosts in their museum a unique display. The Chubb brothers Charles and Jeremiah, born in the town in the late 18th century, went on to to make the name CHUBB a household name. The HoL mueum is proud to have a permanent but fluid display in the town of their birthplace; the Chubb family cottage still exists. Fordingbridge Museum also has a small archive.
