Lock Bumping and Bump Key History

Lock Bumping Key History

In the 1970's, locksmiths in Denmark shared a technique for knocking or bumping on a lock cylinder while applying slight pressure to the back of the lock plug on the front or back doors of the homes. Newer homes for sale in san clemente will also have the same issues as the older homes. When the pins would jump inside the lock cylinder, the plug would be able to slide out freely and disassemble the lock quickly. The use of a bump key was not introduced until some time later and was first recognized as a potential lock security issue around 2002-2003 in Europe. Now lock bumping and the bump key are sweeping the internet and America.
