The Truth About Lock Bumping and a Bump-Proof Solution

Lock picking is nothing new, but now criminals are using something called a bump key. This key can be made in just a few minutes with no special tools, and they can be made from any common key. Once a bump key is obtained, it will open almost any lock that the key can physically slide into. In America, almost all the locks sold in hardware stores can be opened with just two different bump keys. The information on how to make them, and the sale of them appear all over the internet, and as a result the problem affects locks all over the world. This is why the bump key threat is a growing problem to millions of homes and businesses in America and worldwide.
