I couldn't believe it...but it looks to be true. Time to go buy a different brand of locks for my home and pick up some ammo while I'm out.

I've got a set of bumping keys. I found it not quite as easy as they made it look, but it does indeed work. I saw this a year ago, and could not believe it, but after searching the net and seeing what a phenomenon it is, I decided to check it out. As always, ebay saved me some work as a seller had a set of 5 different eys availabe for $5.00, and I snagged them before ebay shut it down. Upon receiving, It took me some time to get the hang of it, but it's every bit as scary as they say. Of course, for real criminals, this is only "another" tool in their arsenal, and if they want in, they are getting in anyways. In spite of knowing this, I did not change any locks, as my attitude is that we cannot go around living in fear. Locks only stop those who don't really want in, and some other common sense practices will probably stand up better than finding the "perfect" lock.

so, once you have a jey cut in this certain shape, it will open pretty much any lock? is that just door locks? or does it work on car locks, shed locks, etc?

Nope, not quite. As you may have noticed when going into a key store, there are many different "types" of keys. Some are single sided, others double sided. The shoulder may be closer on some than others. Other have different sized There are many feature in a key that are used to try nad make them more unique. From what I have heard, there are however some types that are the most common, ie 5 or 6 key blanks account for 95% of locks out there. The priciple behind "bumping" is the same for ALL key locks however, so technically it is possible to create a bump key for any lock. I know I tried it on some door, deadbolts and shed locks, but don;t really know enough to sat about automotice locks, but my guess is that based on the principle involved, it should also work. I do know that even tubular bump keys can be made!

That is scary and creepy!  Glad I have a gun(s), 4 dogs and an alarm system. Dogs are the best deterant there is, IMO. Someone can't breath on one of these doors without them knowing it. One of them would bite for sure, a lady that does rescue work and has dealt with thousands of pooches told me "I wouldn't even lock my doors with that dog by my bed". She is so protective, puts me at ease a little bit.

when i was in college a vagrant kicked in our front door...having played college hockey, it was amazing what i did to him with one swing of a stick.
i really dont understand how it works...
i wonder how much those two companies whose locks cannot be bumped pay for specials about the dangers of lock bumping happening to someone...

WOW...That's some CrAzY ****!!!
But, yeah, the way I look at it, if they want IN, they'll get IN. My WHOLE front door is frosted glass, so I'm not going to worry that someone will bump my lock. That's why I have a SWEET alarm system, 3 KILLER Chihuahua's and my pretty HAND GUN!!

Alarm system is the best bet. Normaly just the sign will turn them away. But if someone gets past the alarm, I have my dog, my beretta 96 laser, a couple tomcats, my glock 30, and a Para 10-45.

If I was, I'd sure have a set in MY H3 already LOL. Seriously, I'm kinda one of those 'hands on" guys who really likes to check things out and learn. A year ago we bought a house and once the possession date rolled around, I wanted to change all the locks and replace some door handles etc. In my quest for the right stuff, I came upon the lock bumping stuff and was shocked myself. I thought, "This has got to be a scam". The more I looked into it, the more amazed I was and decided I had to confirm for myself. I was going to make my own key to try, but as I hang around ebay quite a bit, I thought I'd check it out. Shore 'nuff, some guy was peddlen a set for various locks with a BIN option. I clicked the link, and paid, and a day later got notified from ebay that the auction had been cancelled due to policy violation. A week later, my keys arrived anyways (at least he was a responsible seller, on some level). After playing quite a bit and watching the many online videos, I got the hang of it. I didn't find it quite as easy as they make it look in the videos online, but I would hazard to say given a lock and several minutes and attempts, I can open almost any door the locks fit.
Maybe I'll get a set of those H3x headrests sooner NOT.
