How to Pick Locks
Friday, February 3, 2012 12:53:00 PM America/Chicago
You obviously don't want to learn how to pick locks so you can break into a building illegally; hopefully you want to learn to a locksmith or you simply have a tendency to lock yourself out of your own home.When learning how to pick locks you need to consider that there is a wide variety of locks in use today, and some are made specifically to keep out bump keys and other such tools. This means you may not be able to learn how to pick locks in every case. Many locks are made in a specific way and they can be picked or forced in certain ways if you know how to do this. It often takes some finesse and some expertise when it comes to the mechanics of the lock, but once you learn, you may be able to be a very successful locksmith in any area.
To learn how to pick locks, you first need to consider the inside of the lock itself. Most use a type of spring-action pin set. Small pins are lined up on springs; when the lock is in place, those pins all block the door handle from turning. When you slide in a certain key, the jagged edge of the key pushes the pins into a certain up and down pattern. When they are in place in that pattern, they move out of the way of the door handle so it can turn. This is the first step to learning how to pick locks.In order to do this without a key, you need to move the pins out of the way of the door handle. Typically two small bits of metal are needed; one pushes the tumblers or pins down and holds them down while the second continues to work the pins behind it. When you're first learning how to pick locks, you will notice that it takes some finesse and skill.
You cannot simply slide a piece of metal into the lock and expect it to move all those pins out of the way; if it was this easy, you wouldn't need a key at all!Often learning how to pick locks involves specialized tools for a real locksmith. There are punch tools and bumps you would use in place of trying to push those tumblers yourself. They force everything in place, or pull the lock itself out of place completely. These too need some practice when you're learning how to pick locks with these tools.Learning how to pick locks is not always as easy as some people assume, and if you're going to be a professional locksmith you want to investigate the tools of the trade and know how to use them. Customers will not want you to damage their lock or their doors or anything else when they call you. The only way to how to pick locks professionally is to study how locks are made and how they work and to practice your techniques.
How to use a Bump Key
Tuesday, April 5, 2011 12:51:55 PM America/Chicago
When bumping a lock, the key is initially inserted into the keyway one notch (pin) short of full insertion. Bumping the key inward forces it deeper into the keyway. The specially designed teeth of the bump key transmit a slight impact force to all of the bottom pins in the lock. The key pins transmit this force to the driver pins; the key pins stay in place. This physics action can be visualized by observing the same effect on the desktop toy: Newton's Cradle. Because the pin movements are highly elastic, the driver pins "jump" from the key pins for a fraction of a second, moving higher than the cylinder (shear line of the tumbler), then are pushed normally back by the spring to sit against the key pins once again. Even though this separation only lasts a split second, if a light rotational force is continuously applied to the key during the slight impact, the cylinder will turn during the short separation time of the key and driver pins, and the lock can be opened while the driver pins are elevated above the keyway. Lock bumping takes only an instant to open the lock. The lock is not damaged in any way. Certain clicking and vibrating tools designed for bumping can also be used. These allow for rapid repetition of bumping against locks that have advertised "bump proof" features. Only a rare few key-pin locks cannot be bumped. Electronic locks that have a key backup are obviously completely susceptible to this method.
Bump Proof Locks

We have tested out many locks that claim to be bump/pick proof and have been more that pleased with the BiLock, our main focus is selling entry tool and we have a great staff that test locks with a wide variety of tool. BiLock performs by far over all the other locks we have test. BiLock is the only lock system we sell onhttp://www.bumpmylock.com and we stand behind the product.
BiLock is an internationally acclaimed high security locking system in use by government, university, and hospital facilities who demand the very best. It is used by almost every major casino to protect their assets. It is also available for the homeowner who does not want to compromise the security of their family.
BiLock only offers pick and bump proof locks. Most bump proof claims in online advertising are actually false. Don't waste your money on copycats or lies. If you spend the time to research it, BiLock is the best high security value on the market.
There are claims of people picking a BiLock cylinder. In every case we have researched, the operating key was already in their hand and they refused to let us examine the actual lock. This leads us to believe that the locks were "modified" to make it look easy to pick. The locks manufactured by BiLock are to the highest standards and quality. We have yet to personally witness any original BiLock cylinder being picked open without a key. We donate our locks to picking contests around the world to maintain this confidence.

How to pick a lock?
Tuesday, March 22, 2011 12:49:24 PM America/Chicago

The flatland model highlights the basic defect that enables lock picking to work. This defect makes it possible to open a lock by lifting the pins one at a time, and thus you don't need a key to lift all the pins at the same time. The first step of the procedure is to apply a sheer force to the lock by pushing on the bottom plate. This force causes one or more of
1.) Apply a sheer force.
2.) Find the pin that is binding the most.
3.) Push that pin up until you feel it set at the sheer line.
4.) Go to step 2.

Who would use a Bump Key?
Friday, March 18, 2011 12:47:01 PM America/Chicago
I often get the question, "Who uses bump keys?", and the answer may surprise you.
The #1 purchaser of bump keys is law enforcement; they constitute approximately 35% of all bump keys sales. Law enforcement typically uses bump keys as an alternative to breaking a door down and running the risk of a law suit; with a bump key there is no damage to the lock or door. Bump keys give the law easy entry with no damage.
The #2 purchaser coming in at 25% belongs to Fire and Rescue. When a human life is at stake and all that stands in the way is a locked door, bump keys grant a fast and reliable form of entry. Bump keys provide fire fighters and rescue workers fast entry to help save lives.
The #3 purchaser belongs to the real estate industry (20%). Agents, brokers and property managers have spent a lot of money calling locksmiths just to unlock a house where the key was not returned, lost, or, the locks have been changed with no key provided. Bump keys save the real-estate industry and the individual agent money on locksmith fees.
The #4 at 15% is locksmiths. Bump keys provide tools to locksmiths to help them complete their job with ease, having the right tools help locksmiths complete their job faster and the ability to book more jobs in their workload.
5% belongs to the enthusiast. Entry tools have fascinated many people since the invention of the lock. Bump keys are a huge resource in learning how to defeat a lock and give a better understanding of how locks work.
Bump keys rarely fall into the wrong hands from online sales. All online sales are tracked and have to have a credit card or PayPal and a verified shipping address. The bottom line is bump keys are tools that when used properly provide results to aid law enforcement, fire and rescue, save money, and provide a learning resource.
