If you haven’t heard about lock bumping, it’s a good thing you’re reading this article to find out about it. Otherwise, you’d be learning a hard lesson when your house is broken into because someone ‘bumped’ your lock. Simply put, lock bumping is when someone inserts a random key into your deadbolt lock and simply hits the tip of the inserted key with a hammer a few times until, voila!, their key unlocks your door. It’s a scary fact that homeowners are having to face-how can such a simple lock picking method work on deadbolts and why haven’t lock companies made better locks?
Unfortunately, this isn’t scare tactics to strike fear into home owners. Just type into Google “lock bumping” and several ‘how to’ videos will show up illustrating how easy it is for thieves to break into your home. Luckily, Millennium Lock, Inc. recently developed the Ultimate Lock and it is the only door lock of its kind. Not only is it a “bump proof lock,” but it also is the first deadbolt door lock on the market that can resist the equivalent of 20 deadbolt locks.
