What is lock bumping and how do you do it?


I looked it up on google and came across a youtube video unfortunately i cant watch youtube videos on my computer anymore.I think my computer got a fucking virus.

It is when one takes a key with the lowest valley setting (999) and inserts it into the lock (1 pin away from being fully inserted). He then strikes it with a hammer and the pins are thrusted upward while applying pressure to the key in the correct direction of the lock. If done correctly the lock will open.

I can do this with soda machines, snack macines,etc. and get the money out of them?

[RoundElephant]

In theory, but you need the correct type of key to file down, or you have to buy a 999 key for that particular type of lock. I always wanted to do this crime but I never got around to it, it seemed like there was too much room for error.

Lock bumping is a lot harder than it looks. So far all locks with springs in them took 20+minutes to open and ones without pins (cheap) opened instantly. Mine and my girlfriend's locks are weiser's and they have heavy springs in them that don't like to bounce.

How much did you pay?

[crazy white guy]

Too much. You can steal and make a 200 key set for cheap. To make them all you need is a template and the blanks.

[Pimpin4Life30]

Came out to $38.49

[crazy white guy]

how many keys did it come with?

[Pimpin4Life30]

11 diffrent kinds

That's not many, and for $40.

[RoundElephant]

Yeah it seems like quite a rip off.

make them count kid

[Pimpin4Life30]

Too bad i already bought them.

It's not ideal, but if you can use them to steal $40 of shit, then you're still going to be making profit from there on.

Thats what i was thinking cause i have alot of laundry mats in my neighborhood and i could you use them for any thing like vending machines, candy machines, Washers and dryers,and those kinds that you can twist open to get the candy and get all the change out right?

[RoundElephant]

Most of the things tou just mentioned need pretty unique keys (they're usually tiny or tubular). Did you get those types of keys in your set?

[Pimpin4Life30]

Heres what it came with 5 Pin Kwikset KW1, 6 Pin Kwikset KW10, 5 Pin Schlage SC1, 6 Pin Schlage SC4, 5 Pin Arrow AR1, 6 Pin Arrow AR4, 5 Pin Yale Y1, 5 Pin Dexter DE6, 5 Pin Weiser WR5, 4 Pin Master M1, 5 Pin Master M10.

Is using a drill easier+more foolproof in the end?

"lock bumping" looks like a rip-off site. A while back there were some sites that sold "master keys" for cars. The keys were nothing more than auto jigglers which southord sells for like 2$ each. This site was selling them for 25$. I think that site was called "carmasterkey.com"? Obviously long gone.

I'm confused, is this site actually selling keys? I didn't see any links to a checkout.

You could go the hardware store and buy the blank key and have the clerk set the key cutter to its lowest (highest?) setting for all the pins, or just file it yourself.

I see scammers at auto/gun shows selling picks for 10 times the retail value. And to make the sales pitch, they pull out the most worn out lock ever, that you could pick just by blowing on it, to show how "easy" picking is. So a video showing a lock being bumped does not convince me.

However, I'm not discounting bumping as a technique, but I think you'd be far better off with a simple guide/pointers and making your own bump keys. Obviously all you need is the proper blank for the target lock.

[Acid44]

if you file it down the same way would this technique work on cars?

[Æhµ]

cars use wafer locks, so no.

[Acid44]

oh, ok

Yea you have to sign up to purchase anything i think. But the keys did come almost a month later.
