How secure is your home? Can your door locks withstand a bump key? Which way should your hinges face? Most burglars get in through your doors, so any home security plan should begin with making sure they’re up to par.
Apart from the security concerns, it is also an issue regarding insurance companies. The insurance companies will investigate any incidents of burglary before responding to that incident in terms of claims that will likely be paid. So if the agent of the insurance company investigates the lock bump done on your apartment and discovered that there was no sort of forcible entry, the insurance company will likely not pay any claims. Although there might be some sort of consideration as the incidents have been happening rampantly around our environment. To help prevent this from happening you just need to upgrade the locks of your business and residential premises to prevent any unforeseen incident of lock bumping from happening to your home or business.
Lock bumping usually takes mere seconds to open up a lock. The lock is not broken whatsoever, so the owner would certainly in no way find out. When a lock bumping tool is employed to break into a residence or enterprise there would be no indicators of forced entry or destruction, which can make house or business insurance tough to claim.
Bumping a lock is so simple that even a child can learn how to do it. All it takes is a special bump key (easily modified from a blank or bought online), and a sharp rap (or ‘bump’), and the majority of house locks in America will open. Because the lock will not show any signs of being forced, your insurance may not even cover anything that has been stolen from your house.
“Bumping” a lock vs. picking a lock. – Bumping, also referred to as “rapping” is not a new technique for opening locked car doors. In fact, it’s been around for at least half a century! When this method is used correctly it is extremely effective in over 90% cylinder type locks. As with any other lock picking technique it requires some time and patience to be able to master. A bump key is a key in which all the cuts are at the maximum depth (999). Bump keys can be cut for standard pin tumbler type locks as well as “dimple” locks.
Bump proof locks come in a wide ranges of types, sizes, and price points. Because bump key proof locks require a lock change, Pop-A-Lock also offers less expensive alternatives , such as a special type of lock rekey that will provide resistance to bumping. Our licensed and trained technicians can explain your options, examine your existing locks for vulnerability to bumping, and find the right bump proof or bump resistant lock solution for you.
Bump proof locks are bump proof and pick proof. All the bump proof locks shown below are truly bump proof because they are keyless. Any lock advertised as a bump proof lock that does have a key cylinder is still vulnerable to being bumped.
Bump proof locks and keys are aimed at preventing burglars from breaking into a house using a bump key. A bump key is perfect at inconspicuously opening pin and tumbler locks. This explains why so many people have been stolen from yet they see no proof that the house was broken into.
The best security against bumpkeying to my knowledge without buying better locks is to retrofit your locks with higher tension springs and spool pins or serrated pins. These won’t stop bumpkeying but they will require about ten more taps which is enough to make burglars think twice in the middle of the night. A well-lubricated Kwikset lock with no security pins only requires one or two taps, for comparison’s sake.
A common scenario we see often is customers that call in after their home was broken into most likely with a bump key. There is no sign of forced entry when bumping a lock and therefore even insurance companies will not accept the claim of burglary and just assume you had left your door unlocked. You can actually get burglarized and have all your valuable belongings stolen yet still you will not be able to have your insurance company cover your losses.
Most common dead bolts are NOT bump proof, but bump proof locks DO EXIST and they provide extra security for your home or workplace. The Dead Bolt Secure – Brass Prevents robbers from breaking it by ensuring that the knob on a deadbolt cannot be turned from the outside regardless of bump keys, lock picking tools, or even a stolen, working key. So the Dead Bolt Secure – Brass is the easy quick way to Bump Proof Locks.
Installs easily without having to remove your current lock. Simply loosen the screws that hold your deadbolt plate in place, and slide the Dead Bolt Secure behind the plate. Tighten the screws and you are done. Flip the Dead Bolt Secure over your latch, and you instantly have a lock that cannot be picked or bumped. Is an easy addition to the security of your home or workplace and made of solid steel for long life and security.
