What Is Lock Bumping?
This is another trendy burglary method; in fact, it’s been identified as a growing threat to residential security. Lock bumping is when a bump key is used to align the pins of a common cylinder lock. It’s a picking technique used to unlock a door, usually for the purpose of burglarizing a residence.
With a little practice, few tools, and the opportunity to commit a crime, burglars are able to easily enter homes with cylinder locks. Cylinder locks, typically with a pin tumbler mechanism, are common pieces of hardware used for residential applications. This type of lock has a long history in our country. Unfortunately, home invaders have figured out how to quickly and successfully pick these locks. The technique takes advantage of the mass production of these types of locks, enabling illicit opening of deadbolts and standard key locks.
No entry point is 100% secure when it comes to burglary. A good security system can act as the last line of defense, notifying the authorities if your home has been illegally accessed.
