| | Can I buy a bump proof lock? Yes. Lock bumping is technique whereby certain locks can be opened with a specially prepared "bump" key and a suitable hitting tool. Only certain locks can be bumped. Most locks that rely only on a pin tumbler mechanism can be bumped. Many cylinders in rim locks and uPVC doors have pin tumblers. Fortunately it is quite easy to protect yourself from bumping. |
| | The easiest way to protect yourself is to use a lock that does not use a pin tumbler. Most mortice locks use levers and do not use pins on springs so are bump proof by design. We can recommend the Cisa Bump Proof SP Cylinders as a bump proof solution. |
