Lock Bumping History

In the 1970's, locksmiths in Denmark shared a technique for knocking or bumping on a lock cylinder while applying slight pressure to the back of the lock plug. When the pins would jump inside the lock cylinder, the plug would be able to slide out freely and disassemble the lock quickly. The use of a bump key was not introduced until some time later and was first recognized as a potential lock security issue around 2002-2003 in Europe. Now lock bumping and bump keys are sweeping the internet and America.

    Bump keys are most used with the pin tumbler type of lock. In this type of lock, an outer casing has a cylindrical hole in which the plug is housed. To open the lock, the plug must rotate. The bump key pushes the pins up for a split second so that the plug can turn and the lock is opened.
