HOW DOES BUMP A KEY WORK?

basically,a modified key is bumped with a hummer,piece of wood or any type of object to open the lock.the bump key works in a similar way to a pool cue ball hitting another ball-causing both balls to separate.when the pins inside the lock all separate,the cylinder can be opened.

WHY IS THIS JUST NOW BEING PUBLICIZED?

security specialists(locksmiths)have known about and used this technique for many years in the process of doing their job.in the interest of public safet,most locksmiths or industry insiders do not(!)teach the public how to surreptitiously bypass or force open locks.

recently,this technique has been taught and discussed widely on the internet by those outside the indestry causing increased concern for public safety.

WHY DON’T LOCK COMPANIES TELL PEOPLE ABOUT THIS?

there is a range of security available by the most manufacturers-from locks that are primarily ther for convenience to extremely secure.most manufacturers do not conssider it ethical to educate people on how to break into locks,but insted educate consumers regarding the inherent risks associated with the various of levels of security.

HOW BIG OF A RISK IS THIS REALLY?

because the bypass technique has been so heavily publicized recently by the hacker communit, the “how to” instructions for using this method are readly available on the internet and easily learned by non-technical people.a motivated individual with some time and very little skill can learn to “bump’ open most conventional locks with relative ease.

the general public needs to be aware that conventional ,non-high security locks may easily be compromised by this form of attack and others ,such as picking ,drilling and unauthorized key duplication.”MULTI-LOCK”(and other high security lock menufacurers such as “MEDECO” and “ASSA ABLOY”)belives that when making any purching decision about lock or security,only when fully informed and educated can an individual make the proper decision.where increased protection is desirable or required,the use of high security lock should be considered.

it is also a risk that many insurance companies won’t pay claims on a burglary when there are no signs of forced entry.the insurance company can assume that the door was left unlocked.

statistics from the FBI and the department of justice indicate that the majority of burglaries happen through a door (as opposed to a window or other method)and with no signs of forced entry,so other forms of attack such as picking or unauthorized duplication of keys should also be considered.

WHAT TYPES OF LOCKS ARE EASIEST TO BUMP?

standard pin tumbler locks from manufacturers vulnerable to this type of attack.most high security locks have secondery locking or additional protection to make them more secure against bumping.

IS THERE SPECIAL TRAINING OR EQUIPMENT REQUIRED?

no. commonly available tools,materials and instruction are all you need.the technique can be learned in a few minutes.

WHAT SHOULD THE AVERAGE PERSON DO?

talk to a security proffessional such as a locksmith about the appropriate options for what you are trying to secure.high security cylinder manufacturers(such as “MULTI-LOCK”)provide cylinder that can retrofit into most lock brands without having to replace the entire lock.
