Using a bump key a thief can have undetected and unforced access to over 90% of locks sold in America. A bump key acts as a Master Key on over 95% of locks it fits into.

What is lock bumping?

Simply put, lock bumping is a bypass technique which virtually all locks sold in America are vulnerable to. It makes your home/business vulnerable to undetected entry. An inexperienced individual who gets their hands on the right information can be inside your home and/or business within seconds and then lock the door when they leave. All of this is undetectable by the naked eye.

What can I do to protect my home or business from lock bumping?

You can purchase high-security locks that are "bump-proof", these locks have many other features such as drill resistance and pick resistance as well. All though these locks are considerably more expensive than your average "home center" locks, let me ask you this?

• Do you really want the cheapest security?
• Do you really want an inexpensive lock protecting your family or business?
