hi my name is Robert I'm the owner of
Acme locksmith in Mesa Arizona today
we're going to talk about lock bumping
and what it is and how people can get
into your home using this technique
we're also going to highlight several
products to protect your home so that
somebody can not use a bump key to get
into it lock bumping is a technique that
locksmith used to unlock iOS's for many
years but unfortunately when the
internet came into being somebody put
the information out there online for
anyone to see nowadays anyone with three
dollars an internet connection could
actually get the key necessary and the
training necessary to use this technique
to bypass your home's locks let me
demonstrate
now here's my key that's actually
designed to work this lock now this is
my bump key this is the key that anyone
can buy online for about three dollars
now the thing about a bump key is it
won't actually turn the lock until you
give it a good hard fall now let me try
to position myself so you could see me
do this and there it goes the lock
opened
now I haven't shown you anything that
anybody can't find online already but it
would be very irresponsible me if I
didn't show you how to protect
yourselves against this type of
technique so let's talk about products
available on the market to protect your
home from lock bumping now we're going
to talk about several products available
on the market to protect your home from
this type of an intrusion and I'm going
to go an order of least expensive to
most expensive now a new product that we
really like is actually just a simple
strap that secures on the back of your
deadbolt
and your doorknob and what it does is it
will actually lock this deadbolt in
place so that even if you have a working
key nobody can turn and open the lock we
really like this product because it
costs less than twelve dollars and you
can implement it anytime you're inside
your home here in Arizona we go in and
out of our houses through the garage so
you could leave this product installed
on your front and back door so that
nobody can bump those locks while you're
out of the home here we are with the key
that's actually designed to work this
lock now remember this is the easiest
way to open any lock and this will this
strap will actually stop not only lock
bumping but stop a working key from
opening the lock now I'm going to
install my strap and I'll show you how
this is done in just a minute it's
laughs that it secures the thumb turn
from turning so that nobody can get into
the home now my strap is on that's it it
takes about ten seconds to put on it's
very very quick now take a look at this
key this key is no longer turning this
deadbolt I'm gonna ply a little force
here I didn't want to snap it all the
way off but I wanted to show you that
this key he would break before that
strap gives way to anybody can open your
door it's a great product we love it
it's brand new to the marketplace yeah
this is not a trick
this is a working key for this lock and
there you go
I can just show you how strong this is
you'll snap the key off before the lock
opens
the thing we love about this product is
it's less than twelve dollars and it
will secure your home to the extent that
we've just demonstrated we actually sell
this product online at Acme locksmith
calm just follow the link for buy safes
online and it'll take you to our our
internet page where you can purchase
this and we'll ship it anywhere in the
US now let me talk to you about a quick
set product quick set products aren't
very heavy-duty but to stop lock bumping
then one of the best residential
products on the market right now let me
show you this product it's called the
smart key by quick-set it's available in
all the major box warehouses and it's
different in that it uses wafers instead
of pins and lock bumping actually counts
on the fact that you're using pins and
you have a shear line and this is
actually a waiver system you can
identify a smart key product because it
has an additional hole right on the side
of the cylinder so if the locks on your
house today have that little hole next
to the keyhole you have a bump resistant
product on your home they have quick-set
on your home simply replace the dead
bolts that you have on your house with
this particular product but that
deadbolt will be your bump resistant
protection another product we really
love is a half deadbolt if you have
another brand of hardware on your house
and you don't want to replace all your
hardware with the quick-set brand
because that's very expensive to do you
can install half dead bolts on your
doors and a half deadbolt is just that
on the inside of the home there's a
thumb turn just like you're used to
always seeing but on the outside of your
home there's nothing to indicate that
there's even a lock there so there's no
holdup um there's no hole to put a
screwdriver in and if an intruder was
actually able to bypass your other locks
the door still wouldn't open and they'd
be sitting there baffled and they'd have
to go to some very noisy techniques to
get into the home most intruders don't
want to do that so this is a half
deadbolt it needs to be professionally
installed because of the door prep but
we do that for about $75 a door
includes the part and the labor to get
this on your home the last thing I want
to show you is a high security product
the bump proof there pic proof they have
the highest lock rating it's the most
secure thing you can put on your home
high-security products take special keys
and key ways this is the reason why this
lock is bump and pick proof you can see
this is not your standard house key you
would actually have to go to a lot
professional to get this key copied so
if you do hand out keys to to your
babysitter or your dog walker when they
give that key back to you you know that
they haven't made a copy of it and your
home stays secure the reason we like the
multi lock brand over the other brand of
high security locks is because it has
this very unique ball bearing feature on
the actual deadbolt itself that will
actually lock it into the receiver
that's secured to your door frame so
that you cannot separate these two
objects from each other without
considerable force so hopefully you've
learned a little bit about lock bumping
what it is how to protect your home from
the inexpensive less than $12 strap that
can comfortably secure you in your home
to upgrading some of your locks to the
smart key feature or if you don't have
the quick-set brand going into a half
deadbolt type of situation so there's
nothing on the outside of your door that
you're going to act to your higher and
high security which is the most
effective but expensive way to protect
your home if you have any questions just
