| Damn. That's crazy. But on the other hand, it's always been reasonably easy to pick locks, if you have the skill. This just means it's possible for more people... | |||

| I remember hearing about this years ago, but it doesn't really matter imo, IIRC, it ruins the lock, so you might'swell just kick the door down if you want in that bad. Doors are relatively easy to kick down, btw. | |||

| Doors are not easy to kick down if you have both a deadbolt and thick/long screws/nails holding the door in, just so you know.
Yeah, I remember hearing about this while ago, it's really cool.. The thing to remember is, that you need the exact same type of key that they use, so you can't run around with say, a bump-keyed version of a Ford Truck key, and break into a house with it. |

Originally posted by setzBump keys do not damage locks. They use the same method as a snap gun, which just jogs the pins into place temporarily so you can turn it. The linked video states that insurance companies won't reimburse a theft conducted with a bump key because it leaves no sign of burglary. "You probably just left the door open" One thing of interest from the video is when the interviewer asked the locksmith "So are bump keys illegal?" The other guy said no, you can't outlaw keys. "But these are keys that could be used to commit a burglary." "Yes, but other things can be used to commit burglaries, like a screwdriver or a saw." That made me happy to hear, because legislators (primarily liberal) enjoy putting bans on things that might, maybe, possibly, concievably be used for something a bit, slightly, somewhat like something that's illegal. That just makes messes. The locksmith in the video is aware that criminals are a greater threat than bump keys, and I think he got it spot-on. |
