Lock bumping UK

Lock bumping is a big thing in the US, and as they say, we’re always just a couple of years behind US trends.

This video shows how serious a problem it is, and the most shocking thing is the video has had nearly 7 million viewers!!

There are countless videos showing potential burglars how to do it and where to buy lock bumping keys, so it won’t be long before it takes off in the UK. I have to say, though, I have tried lock bumping myself (as a test obviously) and it isn’t easy.

The major problem in the UK has been lock snapping where burglars break the cylinder with a hammer or mould grips, rather than lock bumping. The challenge now for the hardware suppliers is to design door cylinders which solve both problems. There are products soon to enter the market.

So watch this space!
