BUMP KEY PROOF LOCKS IN SAN ANTONIO
A bump key is a modified key that, when 'bumped' or 'rapped,' can force a lock open with no sign of damage. A single bump key can open many different locks. The amount of time it takes to learn how to use a bump key: 5 minutes. The cost for a bump key on the internet: $10. The property crime rate in San Antonio: 1 in 14. Back in 2003, when bump keys first became national news, homeowners were alarmed and dismayed at how easily crooks and burglars could get past their defenses. Even now, it's estimated that up to 90% of the locks protecting American homes are vulnerable.
The best thing you can do to protect yourself against bump keys is to install a special bump proof lock. With a wide variety of manufacturers and types to choose from, these more secure locks include bump-resistant technology such as shallow drilling and trap or security pins. For totally bump proof locks, you can go beyond traditional pin and tumbler locks and invest in magnetic, electronic, or disc tumbler locks. There is something for every level of security and budget.
