A Bump Key for Your Door

The are many sites out there that are selling bump keys. One thing to remember is that every lock manufacture will have it's own bump key. Basically a bump key is a blank key for that specific brand of lock that is then filed down the lowest point possible with a key making machine or just by using a simple metal file. It is used on older homes and newer homes for sale as the locks in these houses have not changed through the year. The advent of the newer locks or digital locks does help. But these locks also have a key back up on them that can be used with a bump key to override the digital lock mechanism in the homes door. When the key is filed down then it will be able to push the pins in the lock up for a split second when it is whack by a lock bumping hammer or the back end of a screw driver.  The pins are up and the plug is able to turn freely which then opens the lock. This is a quick representation of how a bump key is used to open a standard door lock in America.
