On the way to a new career

Well I inroled at "The Academy of Locksmithing" and will be a proud member of T.A.O.L.

What interests me the most about Locksmithing, is Safe cracking And Safe Restoration. I used to do autobody so restoration is my thing. I remember as a kid finding all sorts of abandoned safes/vaults when tresspassing at abandoned childhood adventure places.
This will also be my first bisiness. Must find a good wholesaler for beadbolt
locks in black or metal finish, gold, sliver, sould I have or offer a high security lock, such as a dimple lock, dimple lock double sided key look to a custumer looks "Krazzy" and "hi-tech", but we ass know dimple lock are, ane't no thing but a chicken wing> Abloye come on who will buy a lock for $200. But what do I doen't know maybe they sell, thats why im so glad to be back at lockpicking101.com. Hell you know what, I'll tell you what, I look forward to having a $80.000 per yer one man operation 24H service longweekend Locksmith Bissiness. Every time I seen a locksmith at work, he would come over 30-45min lader and he would fhack off with at least 100+ dollars

TAOL is the the association of ontario locksmiths, but here in ontario we don't have beadbolts so i'm a bit confused by this post.

regardless, as a locksmith it's your responsibility to care about security and not money, so in regards to selling abloy, it can be done it's just a matter of putting things in perspective to your potential customers. 200+ dollars for a lock is not much at all compared to the collective value of all the things you are trying to protect.
