 Lock picking is nothing new, but now criminals are using something called a bump key. This key can be made in just a few minutes with no special tools, and they can be made from any common key. Once a bump key is obtained, it will open almost any lock that the key can physically slide into. In America, almost all the locks sold in hardware stores can be opened with just two different bump keys. The information on how to make them, and the sale of them appear all over the internet, and as a result the problem affects locks all over the world. This is why the bump key threat is a growing problem to millions of homes and businesses in America and worldwide.
The National Crime Prevention Council is in the process of issuing its first release about bumping. It states "If your home is protected with an ordinary lock, it may not do you much good."
The most effective defense against lock bumping, by far, is installing a high security lock. Mul-T-Lock, the #1 global high security manufacturer in the world, offers a wide array of high security products that offer bump-proof protection as well as the best defense against picking, drilling, and unauthorized key duplication. Only locksmiths or national account representatives of the manufacturer distribute these locks, not retail outlets. American Lock and Key is the main distributor of Mul-T-Lock in Southern California. "Designed to stand up to the most determined attempts at forced entry, MUL-T-LOCK will never let you down. MUL-T-LOCK products exceed many United States and International qualifications against physical attack
