Lock bumping/Key bumping/Bump locking?





"Lock bumping/Key bumping/Bump locking?" This is a quick and easy way for criminals using a simple key to actually "lock bump" your deadbolt causing it to unlock with a turn of the key. A criminal can make entry into a vulnerable home within seconds.

The criminals already know about this technique - it's all over the internet. But homeowners and business owners may not be aware of this scheme. Ron Daniels, President of The Ultimate Lock gives the low-down on Lock bumping. (Listen to the interview with Ron Daniels - http://tinyurl.com/mw5v6h.


This is a crime that everyone needs to be aware of and should check all existing deadbolts to make sure they are not vulnerable to this criminal activity. If your deadbolts are 10-15 years old you should consider upgrading outdated, contractor grade deadbolts for a "high security" deadbolt. You may spend a little more but we're talking about your home and family - which are priceless!

The link also included an amazing video showing how effective The Ultimate Lock can be in keeping the intruders out by protecting the perimeter doors of your home. Remember if you make the criminal "work" to get into your home they tend to quit and look for an easier target.

Crime is increasing everyday. Be proactive and don't skimp on your home and family security protection!
