all right today's lock-picking lesson
guys this is going to be on bump key how
to open a lock with a bump key so first
I want to explain you guys really quick
what a lock looks like on the inside so
right here this is your key okay be a
standard key these are your called your
bottom pins and these are your top pins
okay
so win your top pins and your bottom
pins getting this orientation as they
are right now this right here is called
your shear line okay so when you put a
key in they get that's the right key
they they make this shear line like this
and then you can actually turn the key
over here and a lock will open okay with
the key out these Springs push these
down and then your shear line is blocked
by the pins and that is how it's locked
so without the right key you can't
create the shear line and turn the lock
so that's a basic lesson on a lock now
let me get into what bump keying is so
pacifically what what the keys look like
see if I can show you guys here if you
can make it out
okay so you can see this is a key this
is a normal key and then I'm going to
show you one to compare it to so you can
see the other one this is a bump key
okay the normal key has got normal cuts
in it and a normal tip and a normal
shoulder right here
and on the bottom of normal shoulder
alright the bump key has a sanded down
tip sanded shoulder and sanded top
shoulder and then all of the cuts in it
as you can see are very very deep
instead of being you know jagged up down
up down these are all sanded or filed
down to the deepest cut and this is for
a Schlage lock so I think those cuts are
a number called number nines on Asha leg
maybe sixes I don't remember I get quick
settings like confused sometimes so
you got to on a key if you have a
standard key like this one above is sand
off the tip sand the shoulder back a
little bit maybe an eighth of an inch
and 1/8 inch off the tip and then sand
down or file down all of your grooves
all the way down till they hit that line
which is the deepest cut you could
possibly have and that this is a
standard key and that right there is a
bump key so now let me get my lock out
and show you how this actually works is
pretty neat I want to pause you can get
a better view of this alright here's my
lock so as you can see here I'm going to
turn this so you can see it will not
unlock it's locked back here on this
little sucker so you're going to do is
you take your bump key and you're going
to sit it inside the lock and you want
to actually push all the way and then
let it pull back just a hair
okay then you want to hold the lock like
this and get a screwdriver like this one
and whack the key normally takes a
couple whacks right there it goes now
you see a turn
all right now I actually locked the good
lock again I turned it the wrong
direction but let's do it again push
pressure on this side and cut it a
couple times and there you go now the
lock turns there it is the lock is now
unlocked now this will work on any kind
of Schlage lock any lock this kind of
key would actually fit in and that's it
man you just hear will relock it so I
can show you again taking it up turn
that it's locked
stick your lock in kind of pull it back
just to here and then we got to push it
the right direction this time sometimes
you got to pull it out just a hair to
hit it again sometimes you'll get in
like the first couple hits times it
might take a couple of them but this if
I got it again there it goes so it
turned it again and there it is this
will work on Schlage door knobs
dead bolts anything that easy why mess
with picking a lock when you can bump it
so check it out sometime give it a try
yourself
it's really cool play with your own
locks at your house real easy
these cuts on this thing don't have to
be exact when you bring this back up so
you can get a better backdrop here the
cuts on this key don't have to be exact
right on here I filed them all down with
a file if you get them close you're good
enough the key is softer than the pins
inside the lock these pins up here so
the key will actually mold a little bit
if your filings aren't like perfectly
lined up nice so there it is guys that's
that's how you do it that's how to make
a bump key that's how to bump a lock
really easy
get in a nice leg lock you can make a
quick set bump key the same way go ahead
and have some fun with it check it out
