Bump Keys Make Locks Obsolete

15 Aug 2006 - Posted by Chuck

Another friend sent me the following YouTube Links and they are worth checking out as they illustrate a growing problem in that Bump Keys make it easy for the bad guys to break into your house or office without detection … bad enough to have one’s stuff stolen, but worse is that insurance won’t pay because there is no evidence of a “break-in” …

From Friend:
Look at these - someone has found out how to make locks obsolete!! The first video is a report from the Neatherlands — now it is in the US. Once on the internet the bad guys have a new tool…. be aware everyone -

So then I emailed another friend and got back the following:

> dude - these videos are pretty wild if true ..??..<

It’s probably true. Did you ever use lock picking tools? It works the same way. You jiggle a “pick” (like the bump key) inside the lock and wiggle, and it doesn’t take much effort to open any lock. When I moved into our last house in xyz [ed.] one of the upstairs deck doors was locked with no key. I borrowed a lock picking set from a friend and had the thing open in 30 seconds. Then I was able to replace the lock with a new one.
