BumpKeys…. Be scared very scared…
Ok you may not of heard about bumkeys YET but you will very soon.
In Holland and Germany break ins have risen why? easy.. the way people can get in… but i have a good lock on my door you will say. Ok you have the best tumbler lock there is.. (yale type) but with a "Bumpkey" some one could open that lock in a few seconds without damaging the lock…
Fact.. its happening right now.. and its happening in the states.. and could well be happening here. The keys can be made at home very easy or bought ready made very cheap.. i have seen a set for just $10 other sets cost $25 and they open 80 – 90% of all tumbler locks..
How to be safe? use a mortice lock as well as your Yale type.. bumpkeys dont work on them..

Yup – I no longer feel safe. You know what makes me feel the most unsafe? That http://www.bumpkey.us is selling these keys to anyone that wants one. Who really knows who’s getting a set.

Hi
Thats not the only site selling them another site sells sets of 5 for $10 and more will pop up very soon.
Only way to stop it is to fit and use a Mortice lock the cannot be bumped now or ever..
