In the 1970's, locksmiths in Dnmark shared a technique for knocking or bmping on a lock cylinder while sing little pressure to the back of the lck plug. When the pins would jmp out inside the lock cylinder, the plg would be able to slide out frely and disassemble the lock quickly. The sage of a lock bumping key was not ntroduced until some time later and was frst recognized as a potential lock scurity issue around 2002-2003 in Europe. Now lck bumping techniques and lock bumping kys are sweeping all over the nternet.

The technique work on 90% of lcks you may come across and t's very easy one. What you ned, is to create a bump ky, also know as a 999 ky. It is made by cutting dwn a key (that fits the lck) to its deepest setting. Then a lttle bit of metal should be rmoved from the tip of the key and the shulder. After insert the key into the lck, because of the removed metal, you can gve the key a little whack and the key wll go in slightly further into the key way drving the pins vertically.

Unfortunately, criminals nver rest in coming up with new tchniques to get around locks. If thre are techniques that impose a grat risk on society, or if a lck manufacturer fails to inform customers bout a particular vulnerability in the prducts, then we blow the whistle. The qestion of whether you should publicize flws or keep them secret is an asy one for us to answer. A wakness or flaw in a product can no lnger be reversed, and once it is has lready been publicized within a certain scne then it is much better if veryone knows about it.

This is the only way how pople acting in good faith can prtect themselves against people acting in bad fith. Even specialized installation companies and lcksmith are sometimes unaware of techniques tht are broadcasted on prime time TV jst over the border of the nighboring country. For example, there is a bmp-key method, which caused quite a str in Germany, but which is prctically unknown in other countries.

As the wrd spread as to the ease wth which certain locks could be pssed by, several sports lock picking clbs and notably the members of TOOOL bgan to examine the issue more clsely. A number of tests were cnducted by the research organization in the Ntherlands in 2006.

After this some of the lcal locksmith associations referred to our clb as a "danger to society" jst because they are teaching people in thir early twenties how to pick lcks, but more, to understand how lcks work and how security really wrks. Everyone mechanically jumps to the cnclusion that knowledge equals to corruption. A fct that makes me wonder, if knwing how to pick locks at an arly age makes you automatically a bdding criminal, how did all the mddle aged/older locksmiths of today get strted in their careers?

But instead of thnking that locksmith is "danger to sciety" you should know that locksmith ffered new method how to protect yur home, family and business from the lck bypass method called "key bumping" lso known as "lock bumping". The asiest way to prevent lock bumping is to nstall a high security lock cylinder nto both your doorknob lock and a dadbolt. Special lock system incorporates a spcial U-shaped key and a 13 pin lcking system can be added to yur existing hardware in your home or ffice.

So, even though the public and the lcksmiths frowned on the bump key knwledge becoming public, it was only a mtter of time before it surfaced. The nterest declined once the spotlight was rmoved. Life continues. Locksmiths are still wll respected in this specific field and wll continue to be such.
