I have been p/t locksmithing for 30 + years off and on ( days off from my regular job ). Now being 100% retired I'm going to jump in with both feet.

1. Can someone avise what the most informative Locksmith professional magazines / journals are? Locksmith Ledger still #1?

2. I have been buying locksets at Lowe's at a 10% discount. Can someone give me the names, WWW sites of some wholesalers that sell mail order for locksmithing supplies at a discount. When in Tampa I used to use Southern Lock Supply, but now I live in Pensacola, Fl.

3. Any other WWW site worth looking at for locksmithing materials ( I am registered with Locksmiths 101 )?

thanx

Subscribe to The National Locksmith magazine....they are one of the better ones. Locksmith Ledger is still going too. If you contact Peterson Tools, they will add you to their mailing list for free and you will get The Independant Locksmith Journal.
