The lock on your front door is useless

Well, maybe, maybe not.

Ever heard of “bump keys”?

This video makes it look as though pretty much all types of keys are vulnerable. The locksmith interviewed even claims:

For locks currently on the market, this is the end of safety by means of keys.

We have a Medeco lock on our front door, and for what it’s worth, Medeco claims their locks are “bump-proof“. I’ve read this elsewhere as well.

  1. If this a hoax, it’s quite a convincing one!

    On TOOOL’s Web site ( http://www.toool.nl/index-eng.php ) I found this nice hi-res video about lock bumping: http://connectmedia.waag.org/toool/whatthebump.wmv
