[96] How To Learn To Rapidly Open Locks With A Bump Key! (How Lock Bumping Works)

[@Pyrolock]

Try using rubber thick O rings / washers and/or with springs so key will come out automatically 1 bitting so you can "machine gun" quickly repeated bumps

[@HelpfulLockPicker]

Ken Nixon i have a set of castration rings that work great as well. Thanks for the tip, I will give those a go too:)

[@ironlung7241]

You really need one of them to bump open any lock with security pins! Like an American 700 or 1100....even Best padlocks!

How to srart a 0 6 gsxr with no keys

[@SightlessSenshi]

Very cool video. Bumping has been a skill that has hitherto eluded my learning. But I may give it another whack at some point.

[@HelpfulLockPicker]

Sightless Senshi it is a lot of fun to learn you should try giving it a whack

[@seanfox1779]

Loving your videos man, recently picked up lockpicking and youve been very helpful and informative. Can i ask, when talking about light, medium or heavy tension does it refer to how much pressure you put on the tension wrench after youve already turned the keyway until it can no longer move or am i missing something? Great videos my guy

[@HelpfulLockPicker]

It is subjective. Light for me is barley touching it and heavy is the point right before all the pins bind due to tension

[@niceguitar6144]

I love your videos but I have a vision problem, sadly, I am very serious. Would you consider a tutorial at your chosen price? For example: i’m completely unable to see where exactly you strike the key, does it go in the lock teeth up, sideways, or down? I hope you can help. Thank you for considering

[@HelpfulLockPicker]

You insert the key the normal way that would fit into your lock and you just strike the end of the key. You want to pull it out one position well lightly holding it turn towards the open position

[@niceguitar6144]

[@billybassman21]

I notice a lot of the ones sold on ebay are called Depth Key. Are these the same as bump keys? They look the same to me and they even sell them with the rubber rings.

[@HelpfulLockPicker]

People sell the "depth key" on eBay because eBay will pull their listing down due to not being allowed to sell lock picks. A space and depth key is a set of keys cut to each space and depth of the lock you are working with. They were traditionally used so you could "code cut" with a duplicator. The lowest depth key is technically a bump key but it is usually missing one fine alteration which is shaving the tip down.

[@billybassman21]

@@HelpfulLockPicker Cool, thanks for the info.

[@bombarder_trihxbombarder_t3988]

How do u find out witch bump key fits certain locks.i have 3 different bump keys.also can u use the same bump key on different locks

[@HelpfulLockPicker]

the bump key needs to fit the keyway for profile of the lock For example Kwikset has a KW1 keyway and for that lock you would need to use a KW1 bump key. In general it just takes a little bit of practice and if the bump key fits it is usually usable

After using a bump key to open my lock i open. Can i use it over and over on the same lock like a normal key?

[@FUBBA]

Once you get it open just unlock it and re-key the door to a new key. But technically yes.

[@bombarder_trihxbombarder_t3988]

I bought a set off 3 bump keys but don't have clue way kinda lock the for.do u mean for example if the locks tale u wld need a tale bump key.also can u use same bump key for different people's locks

[@HelpfulLockPicker]

As long as it fits the specific keyway to the lock it should be able to be used.

[@jomonjose1773]

Could u do a video on picking lever locks

[@HelpfulLockPicker]

jomon Jose I am not great at those but if I ever get better I would love to. I will try to find an online resource I found a while back for you

[@rickjj91]

Is it possible to bump a double sided key that has upper and lower pins?

[@HelpfulLockPicker]

It is possible but those locks are typically wafer locks which you do not typically bump. It it were a pin and tumbler lock it would be possible.

[@stephenstone2606]

Great video again,thanks for showing👍🔒🔓👍

[@HelpfulLockPicker]

Stephen Stone thank you for the kind words :-) I hope it was helpful

[@spaghetti7782]

Do you need to use a bump hammer? Would other things work? and couldn't you do it with your hands?

[@HelpfulLockPicker]

Abominable Jesus Anything hard works, I would not use your hand. The most popular choice seems to be the handle of a screwdriver

[@spaghetti7782]

thanks!

[@fiddlesticksbessette398]

''ANYTHING HARD..??

[@williamspencer1935]

Does that bump hammer have a metal head or is it plastic?

[@HelpfulLockPicker]

I believe it is made out of metal

[@williamspencer1935]

@@HelpfulLockPicker okay, thank you

[@kdavis4910]

I am trying to learn to bump locks. I have a standard bump set but am having trouble. When you say lightly torque the key, how lightly do you mean? And how hard do you hit the bump key?

[@HelpfulLockPicker]

I turn it where I am barley touching it, just enough for the plug to turn if everything sets. I hit it with the bump hammer with enough force to make the key move into the cylinder very quickly.

[@charlesklein7232]

their is a method of pick proofing your lock with a "T" pin and master waffer but would this help with bumping?

[@HelpfulLockPicker]

charles klein It would because you would need to have each tip pin set exactly right for an open that would not seize the lock. I also like adding zero lift pins to locks from time to time.

[@Cynthia-ty3uo]

So once you bump the lock open can you still use that lock

[@HelpfulLockPicker]

Yes

[@urmanascrewed]

Just bought some bump keys from Amazon. It seems too good to be true, but I'm hoping to open a locked door in my house.

[@HelpfulLockPicker]

It is not recommended to pick locks in use hit they usually work pretty well

[@Sabi1234567890Asdf]

ones you have to watch for 99 percent of the time are counter pick locks. They will turn to 1/4 of the way but without the proper tools or the key they will lock up. But in my 2 years of holding a locksmith licence I have never encountered a lock like that. Scoring is more likely and can render a lock inoperable. But I have seen a video of the lock picking lawyer on a lock that will lock up If picked without the key and you didnt know it had a pick proof lock

[@Feetupfreeflier]

How do you know what way a lock turns? I find I never know which way a cylinder spins when I'm bumping.

[@HelpfulLockPicker]

Most padlocks open clockwise and deadbolt type blocks always open away from the door frame. It is something you sort of learned over time

[@Itellitlikeiseeit]

How do I know which bump key will work for my bedroom door? I have 4 bump keys, only one will fit in the key hole.

[@fiddlesticksbessette398]

then,''that Is the one...

[@omgitshd7602]

🤦🏻‍♂️

[@HelpfulLockPicker]

The one that fits usually works. Just try not to pick locks in use

[@bernard512tr]

Once bumped open a security lock and after having turned the core 180° you can meet a trap pin which keeps the key from further turning and the bumpkey cannot be removed anymore. What’s next?

[@HelpfulLockPicker]

Usually having the key in place will prevent pins from falling out. I am not sure what you are speaking of

[@sleutelassistancebernard3702]

@@HelpfulLockPicker Yes with key no pin can fall. So lock can be opened. Thanks a lot.

[@1trucxhondamov589]

Wouldn't bumping a lock disrupt the key cut code?

[@HelpfulLockPicker]

Not really, you would have to do it a lot to wear down the pins. I worry more about if the lock has mater wafers it can mess them up

[@thegeth4293]

Can you re-lock the lock by bumping? Like for example: doing a physical pentest where you dont want forensics to know you made entry?

[@HelpfulLockPicker]

Yes, you would just turn in the opposite directon

I locked myself out of my home last week. I had a key that fit into my front door but wasn't the key for that door. (I don't have one that works on that lock). Here it is at 4am and after trying this I realized I didn't really know what I was doing. I ended up climbing into my living room window all the time worrying a cop would put a bullet in my ass as I clambered through head first. I'm 68 years old so even that was no easy feat. I'm going to try to practice this technique during the daylight hours. Thanks for the video.
