That's closer to the truth than you might think. At my brother's employer's, someone kept breaking or unlocking the padlocks on a tool store door, and stealing tools. So they secured it with a large nut and bolt, but with a left-hand thread. No tools were stolen for several years, until someone used Oxyacetylene to cut through it. Yet it only needed a socket of the right size, turned 'the wrong way' to open the door. The nut was often found really tightly fastened, as the result of people failing to figure out the thread direction.

Yeah, in my state bump keys are weirdly significantly more regulated than lockpicks. I gather this is the case for a lot of US states. I'd be interested to learn the general history of the legislature. Though I'm completely uninformed, to me, it smells like the term "bump key", or "bumping" somehow ended up being a buzz word in legal circles and eventually ended up getting more or less blindly baked into law, despite the myriad of other tools that one could use to the same effect. From there it's probably only a matter of time before it get's replicated community to community. I actually walked into my local courthouse with one of those cheap "credit card" lockpick sets in my wallet (forgetting it was there). Had to give it up to the guard at the metal detector/security checkpoint, but no fuss was made. But I wouldn't dare walk around anywhere with bumping tools. Don't even want to own any.

My house was broken into a few years ago. An inner back door was forced open. But the outer back door wasn’t damaged. After hearing about this technique, I think this is how they got inside. Before the burglary, I had found the outer back door unlocked. At the time, I thought it was just oversight on someone’s part. Now I think either somebody tested the lock or got scared away. In any case, I upgraded the locks afterwards. They are either bump proof or bump resistant. It would be interesting to see how bump resistant/proof they are.

I don't recall who made the original lock. The new ones came from Home Depot. They're from KwikSet. The package said they were bump resistant. Watch the LPL enough, and you wonder if there even is a pick proof lock.

So a long time ago before you were posting videos I did this, but without the little cheerio. If you set the key in but leave the last 0 cut on the key out of the lock and give it a quick strike while turning the key a little, you're almost guaranteed to get the lock open on the 1st tap. You don't gotta beat the key repeatedly. Unless there's higher security measures put in place in the lock itself. Most household locks and deadbolts don't use those security measures unfortunately. And that's the story about how I used to get into abandoned and foreclosed houses without anyone knowing when I used to he homeless 10+ years ago. It is what it is.

I'd just like to say I love this channel and it's taught me some things. I recently went into an escape room with some friends. There were around 4 locks that used 2 dials. Just for fun I tried to just apply a little pressure on the lock and turn the dials. I was able to get it unlocked without finding the clue for it. (I of course then asked the group if they'd like me to just relock it until we found the clue or keep it open and get the stuff that was inside.). Upon search it seems they used the Corbin Dual Dial PO Box doors.

this is the first time ive ever seen him lose his tension and i've been watching sporadically for like 6 years

I learned about bump keys a while back and was stunned at how effective they were. From there I started researching lock picking sports and can’t believe how easy it is to defeat locks, especially the “ High security” versions at box stores. False sense of security for sure. I truly enjoy your channel and have adjusted my lock buying habits to secure things now. I appreciate the education

You're banging your hammer on that key like Bob Ross is banging his brush on his easel to dry it after cleaning haha

Let’s just pick the devil out of it.

I know this is off topic but I just picked up a set of your tensioners on Covert and wow! I really didn’t think it would make such a huge difference but difficult locks have become much easier. Thank you so much!!

Ye cos the tensioner helps so much, fool get off mummy's computer

This is one I’ve actually done myself. (On a lock I had the key to, of course) a coworker told me about it so he found a key that was close enough to this teeth shape, filed it down some, and we tried it on the locks at the dealership I worked at. Again, we had access to the real keys so it’s not like we were breaking in or anything, just seeing if it worked, and it did! Easily! And repeatedly!

Straight up bought a bumping set and it works like a charm! Love your products!

After watching you for years i am starting to wonder why people put locks on anything.

The usual reply is "to keep the honest people honest."

How fortuitous! Not 5 minutes ago, I pulled my Covert Instruments Bumpkey Kit out of the mailbox and excitedly tore it open!

The timing of your video is excellent! My kit is being delivered today!

A two sided Euro Cylinder Lock (at least that’s what they’re called here in the UK), has an interesting little feature, if you leave a key full in one side, you can’t fully insert a key on the other. Be interesting to see if a bump key would work in that case….

You can reduce the damage to the bands by cutting a flat on the bow side of the last pin. The way your bump keys are cut, the band is stretching over an angled surface, which is making it easier to get cut. If you have it on a surface that is parallel to the bottom edge of the key, the band should not be stretched, and the surface that impacts the band should also be thicker.

Instead of using rubber rings, have tried using a short spring, lasts longer but unfortunately, you wont sell as many as they don't get cut with the key :D

Omg, I finally actually understand how bumping works. That model at the beginning was really helpful!

Best ad ever! I love how LPL introduces a QoL improvement to the method to avoid the ouchies! Gonna have to buy me something at his store!

“Ooop. Lost my tension…” 😅😅😅 LPL is human… Love to see that even experts make mistakes, even more so when the “mistake” stays with the final product… Could have easily edited it out, but didn’t… Even more respect earned…

Unfortunately, no matter how many videos he makes about Master Lock, they continue to sell locks with unforgivable flaws. I would suggest that you, and other LPL fans, might want to write to your elected representatives, and demand they pass laws, outlawing the sale of locks that opened with comb attacks or bump attacks.

Imagine waking up in the middle of night to see a burglar just smashing the hell out of your lock with a hammer

Maybe rounding off the base cut area of the key would extend the life of the little green bumpers a bit.

Yes, they are.

Rebound Rings = Castration Bands ..... You could pick up 100 green ones for $5 at Tractor Supply or 10 black ones for $3 at CI. I use them to castrate my cows and goats and just so happen to immediately recognize these "rebound rings." The keys are awesome though at Covert Instruments and everyone should buy a set. You're welcome. :D

Those rebound rubber bands can be bought at farm stores if you need to replace them . Thay are for animal castration around the testicals they open a long way with a special tool .

I first heard about “bump picking” about 15 years ago or so and it was presented as some kind of new attack. How long has lock bumping actually been in use as a viable attack?

I expect it's been around for as long as people knew how pins in locks worked.

I’m suddenly craving Apple Jacks…can’t imagine why

I just learned something new and I've been doing this for years now I didn't realize that the bumpering was actually that useful I'm actually glad to watch this video thank you

He has bumped locks a few times. However, most cases it was to show that it was an alternative way to opening it up. That said, this the first time where he has opened a lock using a special key. Those other bump opens were using just the hammer and/or a tension bar.

You can bump past locks with security pins also.

Wow how many locks can you open with this hammer ? 😃 You should do this test with every lock

keep in mind that on allot of lower security locks you only need a key that fits into the keyway and has some high cuts. i don't know if this is called jiggling but i will call it that, if the key fits you can pull it in and out while turning and often get the lock to turn.

I love how clever the negative space in the CI logo is used!

All.the comments are informative and hilarious. We had a family visit the ranch and came upon a sack, extremely dried and missed by scavengers.

Of the hundred comments I've read describing what more people know these things for, (all the same thing) this is the only one that came with a good story. Thanks for sharing.

How I never thought to use a tensioner to keep my fingers safe until now is amazing. Thank you!

For longevity of the ring, how much cost/trouble would it be to bevel or blunt the contact points of the Key? Theoretically it is a simple home task with a file so at the least you may want to include such advice.. Cheers~!

As a "property preservation" professional, I was supposed to know how to break into homes to secure them after a repo. I never gained this technique, but I did end up buying some bump keys. I think it was around this time I came into contact with the LPL videos. I sure wish I had seen this a half-dozen years ago! I thankfully had only a few cases where this would have helped, but I needed the bragging rights of doing this "low skill" attack. There's no question that I could do this now if need be!

LPL, you would be delighted to know that at the right side of the Pond basically every lock sold since a decade or so incorporates anti-bumping features... because there was a plague of thieves using bumping as their to go low-skill attack since two decades or so.

That bump key looks EXACTLY like a WalMart master key.. Years ago, while working in the auto center I was called on to make a duplicate..
