How to Bump

The first thing you'll need to open a specific lock is the bump key. Understand that not just any bump key will do. A bump key must be made for that specific model and brand of lock. It is not a master key that will open any lock, but rather a key that fits in the lock but will not open it under normal conditions.

First you must acquire the bump key. The easier method is to buy a pre-made bump key from www.bumpmylock.com. . A 18 key set can be purchased for around 50 dollars. With a set such as that you could open almost any lock.

They way a bump key works is by inserting it into the lock and pulling it out one click. Then turning the key in the direction used to unlock the lock with a certain degree on pressure; which you'll know by trial and error. Then simply hit the end of the key with a bump hammer andbumping it all the way into the lock. By bumping the key each peak on the bump key hits each pin in the lock jolting them upwards. When this happens, and if done correctly, the pins aligns and the lock opens. Very simple concept.
