'Lock Bumping' or 'Cylinder Bumping' is a lock opening technique that has been employed by locksmiths for decades as a way of opening cylinder locks. For much of that time knowledge of the technique was confined to the locksmith community. This changed with the arrival of the Internet and to day there are very many web sites selling the modified 'bump keys' and explaining exactly how to use them which is good news for the burglar but bad news for the home owner.
A
cylinder lock is the type found on uPVC
doors, patio doors and a lot of wooden doors. If your key is what is
commonly referred to as a ‘Yale’
key (like those pictured on the left) then your home could be at risk.
Because the burglar
uses a key to get into your property there is no obvious sign of a
break-in which may result in you having considerable difficulty in
persuading your insurance company that a break-in
has in fact taken place and therefore pay out on your claim. This could
prove to be expensive.

Pickbuster is a simple, economical solution to the problem of Lock Bumping. Pickbuster is a highly developed, synthetic oil that once inserted in to the lock barrel will act as a shock absorber, just like in a car, and this stops the lock being able to be bumped. Pickbuster is tested and approved by the Institute of Certified Locksmiths.
I can apply Pickbuster at your home very quickly at a cost of
£9.99 a lock. A
discount
is available for two or more locks treated on
the same visit.
As an
approved installer I will provide a written
invoice for your insurance company, saying that Pickbuster has been
installed by a professional registered locksmith.
