The Open Organization Of Lockpickers (TOOOL)
AND you thought your home was safe? watch and learn ... =================================== http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hr23tpWX8lM "In the 1970s, locksmiths in Denmark shared a technique for knocking on a lock cylinder while applying slight pressure to the back of the lock plug. When the pins would jump inside of the cylinder, the plug would be able to slide out freely and disassemble the lock quickly. The use of a bump key was not introduced until some time later and was first recognized as a potential security issue around 2002-2003 by Klaus Noch who brought it to the attention of the German media. After further examination of the procedure, a white paper was drafted in 2005 by Barry Wels & Rop Gonggrijp of The Open Organization Of Lockpickers (TOOOL) detailing the method and its applicability." Countermeasures "Ironically, more precise manufacturing tolerances within the cylinder make bumping easier as the pins move more freely and smoothly. Also, more expensive locks made of hardened steel are actually more vulnerable because they are less prone to damage during the bumping process which might cause a cheaper lock to jam. Locks having security pins (spool or mushroom pins, etc.)—even when combined with a regular tumbler mechanism—generally make bumping somewhat more difficult, but not impossible. Electronic locks, magnetic locks, and locks using rotating disks are not vulnerable to this attack. Because a bump key must have the same blank profile as the lock it is made to open, restricted or registered key profiles are much safer from bumping, as the correct keyblanks cannot legally be obtained without permission and/or registration with relevant locksmiths' associations. Locks made by Medeco or Mul-T-Lock (sister companies) are advertised to be "bump proof. Mececo locks are advertised as unbumpable due to sidebars that must be alligned to a specific depth to enable pin movement and pins chiseled at angles to further thwart bumping." Locks that have trap pins which engage when a pin does not support it will jam a lock's cylinder. Shallow drilling in which one or more of the pin stacks is drilled slightly less deeper than the others. If an attempt were made on a lock that has shallow drilled pin stacks the bump key will be unable to bump the shallow drilled pins as they are too high for the bump key to engage." ===================== it took me one search to find a set of BUMP KEYS for $35 - expensive? http://www.bumpkey.us/images/P/11-bu...ck-bumping.jpg it took me two more searches to find other sets for under $15 |

Bumping has been going on for some time now. If you spend an extra few dollars you will have a lock that can't be bumped..............................Ya get what ya pay for.
