Look around the site, you will find all the information that you need. But it takes alot more than a set of screw drivers....

I feel you on the asthma - I was an active duty military stallion until the wheezing began. Locksmithing is a good trade, but if you have a sensitivity to sawdust installation might be an issue. FB is a good place to start.
