Lock Bumping - Ways to Protect Yourself
Lock Bumping is a technique that's been around for many years. My grandfather who was a locksmith bumped locks in service to clients. It's a simple way to 'pick' a pin tumbler lock using a bump key.
Bump Key - What Is It?
We don't want to go into too much detail in case it's used by the wrong people. A bump key is a blank key that has been modified to slide into any pin tumbler lock. A bump key will allow a thief to gain entry to your home in seconds. Lots of pictures and videos are available on the web. Continue reading below for and explanation about Lock Bumping.
Buy A Bump Proof Lock
Most dead bolts in use today are NOT bump proof, but High Security bump proof locks DO EXIST. We have a special price on a good one immediately below. When you consider the financial costs of replacing your valuables or your identity it's not a lot to pay for protection. I stock a complete product line of Underwriters Laboratory listed (UL) High Security Deadbolts that are pick and bump resistant.

Locks Rekeyed - Peace Of Mind
If you just moved into a new building or apartment its possible that many builders, tradesmen, and friends of previous tenants have keys to your new place. This worry can be eliminated by rekeying your existing locks. New locks are not required. It's a simple, clean and quick process. See the Special Offer on our homepage.
Master Keyed - Commercial Uses
In a commercial settings you can give your security people one key that fits all pertinent locks, and yet each of the individual tenants can only open their own lock. In a residential setting, you can have any or all of the locks in your home or apartment work from the same key. No more trying to remember which key works in which lock. And no more cumbersome key rings bulging in your pocket.

High security safes protect your valuables from fire, natural disasters, and theft. Safes come in all sizes and shapes and can save you from financial loss, or heartbreak if pieces of sentimental value are lost or stolen. Sometimes it's much more convenient to have your valuables instantly accessible and yet still secure.

Alarms - Deterrence
Just having an alarm will deter criminals from entering your residence or place of business. But if they do get in, the fact that they've been discovered will encourage them to leave immediately. Alarms can also protect you against fire, smoke, and carbon monoxide poisoning. We can recommend an alarm that suits your needs.
Target Hardening - Make It Harder to Break-In
Target Hardening is about making it harder for criminals or opportunists to break into your place, and discouraging them from even trying by making your security measures more visibly. Making your security measures more visible can be a strong deterrent. Some examples of target hardening would be putting blocker plates over doorframe and lock, cages over lights, grills or shatter film on windows, enclosed shackles on padlocks, window locks, and installing security doors
Security Surveys
A Security Survey is a detailed look at all aspects of your current security and situation. Some people take a 'patch-work' approach to their security, and this inevitably leaves holes. But doing it right means setting aside a few moments for planning. We will be happy to guide you through this process step-by-step and ensure your peace of mind.

Locked out of Bathroom?
For a door that has a privacy lock (the kind with a hole in the knob on the outside), keep a tool handy that will open this door if it is locked by your toddler with you on the outside and your toddler on the inside. The tool can be made from a piece of coat hanger or a metal skewer from the kitchen drawer or the inside of a ballpoint pen. Kept handy, it could save you from considerable anxiety and frustration trying to get a toddler to unlock the door.
- Put tool straight into the hole in the knob.
- The tool will stop approximately 1 inch to 1½ inside the knob.
- Gently but firmly push the tool just a little bit, approximately ¼ inch (you are pushing the spring loaded release button).
- You should hear a "pop" or "clunk" as the lock unlocks.
- Turn handle.
Again, if the bathroom lock has a round hole take a wire coat hanger and bend it straight. Stick it directly in the hole (straight and level) and feel for a springy button… when you feel it, simply push and it should release the lock. If this is not successful, make sure the tool is level and is dead center, or call me for help.
Door Guards - Solid Brass
Both solid and chain brass door guards are quick and inexpensive for our professionally trained locksmiths to install. They allow the door to be opened only a few inches but provide a substantial amount of security in return for the small investment.
